Adding "Related topics": missing function in the Properties panel

[Jean-Luc Bilodeau]

I'm trying to follow the following instructions about to add a "Related Topic" section to a topic:

"After you insert the Related Topics placeholder in the topic, the Type field in the Properties panel > General tab shows Related Topic List. You can now add related topics to the placeholder. To do so:

• In the General tab, against Related Topics, click ..."

  Problem: The buttons "Type" and "Related Topic List" do not appear in the General tab of the Properties panel.... Why?

Hi Jean-Luc, can you share your solution in case someone else has the same problem?

It's easy. It's just a matter of clicking in the topic, in the "Related Topics" placeholder, on the words "Related Topics". Then, in the Properties panel, in the General tab, the button to add "Related topics" appears and you can proceed to adding related topics. Otherwise, if you click anywhere else in the topic, this button does not appear. The way the User's manual is written on that matter, it's like the Related Topic list (and the buttons to add new related topics) appears as soon as the placefolder is added. It's not the case. You have to make sure your mouse is located at the right place in the placeholder. 🙂 Voilà! 🙂
