RH Classic 2019: exclude topics from TOC

Hi everyone,

Question for all you wise people:

I have a FM2019 book with conditional text applied to some topics.
The Frame book is linked to a RH Classic 2019 project.
After importing the FM content into RH, the conditions are also imported with the topics.
In RH I have created build expressions to exclude some content from the output.
When I generate the output I get weird results:
The topics appear in the TOC even though they should not.
The topics are empty.

Seems that RH is excluding the content from the build but not excluding the topics from the TOC.

From the RH 2019 Classic user guide p283:

Table of contents: A TOC book or page that is linked to an excluded topic doesn’t appear in
the Contents pane.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Even after updating the FM book(s)?

Hiya,

I did the following:

Updated the FM book. Result: TOC does not display the topics.
In RH, created and new empty TOC. Set it as the default TOC.
Did a Force Update All. Result: the RH TOC does display the topics
Generated the output using build expressions that exclude the topics. Result: the topics are displayed in the TOC but have no content.

BTW, FM and RH keep crashing when I do a Force Update All with a new TOC (and other updates). I had the same issue with v2017. It's very tiresome.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Any news about this?

That could be the problem - in FM, the topics are all set to Show, but in RH you've applied CBTs to them. Try creating a new TOC in RH and use it to create the output as a test.

So here's the strange thing: they are not in the FM TOC. Even if I apply Show All they are not there 😞

Are you using the FM TOC or building one in RH?
