Topic status in Robohelp 2020 inconsistent after changing status

Question

After changing the topic status from within the opened topic, I see a different topic status for some of the topics, depending on where I look.

New status shown correctly:

Old status shown here:

I defined two extra topic statuses of my own in my topic properties, I chose custom colors for those as well.

This is crucial because I use topic statuses to filter my output. What's not finished doesn't go in.

I have run out of ideas where to look. Am I doing something wrong?

What am I missing?

Using Robohelp 2020.5.71

Peter Grainge · Answer

After changing are you saving? That could account for a difference. Beyond that restarting the project would be next.

Topic Properties for example will only change once opened when you save.

Also you could try only adding a topic to the TOC when it is finished. What is not in the TOC doesn't go into the build.
