Primary text frame threading behavior

Question

I'm working on templates for an article in two journals (journal A and journal B).

Parent pages
Two parent pages: (1) "txt" for pages after the title page and (2) for article "Title page". "Title page" is based on txt. Parent page "txt" works.

Parent page for "Title page" in journal A has five threaded primary text frames (Figure 1).
Parent page for "Title page" in journal B has two threaded primary text frames (Figure 2).

Document pages

The pages in the document behave differently:

Journal A (Figure 3): the threading works in the documet as threaded on the parent page
Journal B (Figure 4): the threading doesn't work in the document.

All the frame settings and object styles are the same, as far as I can tell. I can't find the explanation for this behavior.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Rok

Hi @RokP , There can only be one Primary Text Frame per Parent Page, so I don’t think there is a way to thread multiple text frames on a parent page via Primary Frames—you’ll have to use regular text frames on the parent spreads.

This is from CC2020 where I have a mix of threaded primary and regular text frames.

On the screens, all looks good. Could you please share the working files with only parents or with any placeholders to look at them more closely?
