Question

Unwanted conrefs being inserted into topicrefs in ditamaps

In Arbortext 6.0, when I drag a topic from the Resource Manager into a ditamap, the resulting topicref includes the expected href attribute, but it ALSO includes a conref attribute, with the same value as the href attribute PLUS "/topic-title" tacked onto the end. Arbortext then pops up an error message like this: "[A12090] Document "C:\...\...xml\topic-title" doesn't exist."

This happens in all cases, with any ditamap file and any component XML file. It makes the ditamap invalid and unbuildable.

How can I get around this?

    I can't reproduce the behavior you've described. See the attached video. If you're doing the same and getting another result (btw a screenshot will help to make things clearer), I'd suggest first to reinstall Editor or try newer build. BTW, what build (F000/M010/M020) are you using?

    Just to double-check: are you getting the issue with non-modified OOTB DITA and stylesheet?
