Profiling bookmap

Hello,
In my bookmap I have different layers (part/chapter/topicref), if I use profiling on one layer, then profiling on a child layer of this layer does not work.
For example: I have 3 products A, B and C
Chapter1 (profiled for B and C)
- Topicref1 (profiled for B)
- Topicref2 (profiled for C)
- Topicref3 (not profiled)
Now if I publish with profile A, nothing will show (as expected).
But if I publish with profile B (or C) then the 3 topicref will appear when I'm only expecting 2 (Topicref1 and Topicref3 for B).

Am I missing something?

Which version of Editor are you using? Can you send a screen shot of how the profiles look in the Column view. We ran into the issue of cascading attributes. Search cascade.

Arbortext Help Center.

 

So what this means is that if chap 1 is parent profiled for B and C, Its property's are given to the children automictically.

    Hello Bryon,

    It seems that I was indeed missing something. This cascade article is exactly what I needed, each topicref/chapter was set to merge by default and switching to nomerge finally gives me the result I was expecting.

    I have had this problem for years on different Editor versions and have been using a workaround ever since.

     

    Thank you so much for your help!

    Glad it worked for you. I don't remember when it changed my guess is 8.0 when Dita 1.2 was added.
