I made changes to the edd files in the DITA 1.2 folder, but they aren't showing up when I use applications that are linked to them. The changes I made don't go into effect until I import element definitions, and I don't want to do that for every file. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks!
After updating the EDD, you have to import that into the corresponding template(s). Be careful not to import the EDD into the wrong template. Note that the default setup for DITA 1.2 in FM is to have separate structure applications for each topic type. That means you have to maintain separate EDDs and tempaltes for each. The EDDs are set up to be shared where apporpriate (via text insets), but it can be hard to keep track of which goes where.
The best approach is to clone the default apps to make apps of your own name, so you can always test with the default apps .. because you *will* eventually break something and won't know what happened.
Cheers and good luck!
