Cross-reference with conditional text bug

[Piotr Klon]

Hello everyone,

could You help me with following problem, please? I've got book with tons of cross-references, and I thought using conditional text would be good since we are preparing translation to another languages. Unfortunatelly something strange happens all the time. For example, after I change condition of a few sentences (linking to anchored texts in the same chapter), then hide and reveal them, the cross-references unlink. But what is much worse, when I open cross-reference panel and click on update button, the conditional text with broken links stays the same. Only above broken sentences appears right ones however with uncoditional text function set on.

I've personally no problem with such a conditions using.

Could you post a test-file?

Thank You! Here's the mentioned test file (unfortunately I was unable to compress it, so I had to send it via wetransfer): https://we.tl/t-ReZyim2fY5

Thank You very much! So, correct me if I'm wrong, my mistake was that I've wanted to connect cross-reference that was marked as conditional text (in this case "Europa Zachodnia"), with anchored text that was marked as unconditional text?

No, I create 4 cross-ref., not just 2 and apply the 2 conditions correctly.
