FM drops the outputclass attribute of topic elements (DITA 1.2)

Hi,

when I set a value for the outputclass attribute of topic elements, then FM does not preserve it when the topic is saved as an XML file. Do I need to adjust the r/w rule, what would need to be added?

What I want to get is simply

<topic id = "id123" outputclass = "abc">

attributes.png

I have already tried adding lines such as

element "topic" {

attribute "outputclass" is fm attribute "outputclass";

}

But evidently it is not that simple.

Robert

I could verify now that this is definitely a Framemaker issue. When I manually write an outputclass attribute into the XML file then I can open it in FM and save it again without problems. However, if I create a new file (the EDD places certain values into the outputclass attribute depending on the topic type) then I see this value in the structure view, but not in the attribute inspector. Only when I manually select a value in the attribute inspector it is preserved when saving the file.
