Text Inset in Container File Loses Conditional Tag

Hi,

(Framemaker 8.0p277,unstructured)

I have a number of books that make use of text inset and conditional text.  Some text insets contain conditional text in their source. Then, after the inset is put into the container file, the inset may be further conditionalized. This illustrates the situation:

--- Text Inset ---

This inset was created for end users.

When using function X, blah blah blah

-----End Inset----

The red text indicates an InternalDocComment condition. This inset is then placed into the container file where it has another condition applied, PrintOnly for example. PrintOnly is in blue.

The writer is able to set all this up fine. After placing the inset into the container, she selects the inset and applies PrintOnly.  The text inset appears in blue and the InternalDocComment as visible shows the maroon of two mixed colors. The writer saves the file, continues working on the files, then later in the week, the writer opens the container file. The blue color indicator is gone from the inset. When the writer selects the inset and chooses Apply Conditional Text, the Conditional Text dialog shows the current selection is Conditional (radio button) but no tags appear in the In portion of the dialog.

I've tried using spacer paragraphs in and around the text inset to see if we can get the conditional tag to "stick" but nothing is working.

Has anyone run into this before?

TIA,

Mary
