Missing link status in link panel and on the page in inDesign CC2018

[bvanstal]

Hi,
I have ported our plugins so they compile and load in indd CC2018
There's one thing that isn't working. My plugin is providing a custom data link. It seems to function just fine except for the status (linked, out of date, missing) not being shown anywhere.
I compiled the custom data link sample code and that has the same problem.

Actually, when I remove the plugin, the status is back again. Seems to me I'm missing some new required implementation (since it did work up to 2017). Just kind find any info what I'm missing.

Any help is appreciated!

This seems to be a possible bug, I can reproduce the same here. Could you please report this issue to Developer Programs at wwds@adobe.com along with detailed information like, sample plugin, steps to reproduce, InDesign version, SDK version

This has been reported.
I got a fix/workaround for it. Adding :

IID_ILINKRESOURCEHELPERHANDLER, kFileLinkResourceHelperHandlerImpl,

to my recource handler boss did the trick.

Thanks

Thanks very much! it worked!

We encountered the same issue in our plugin, and it is causing crash of Indesign whenever we scroll the links panel since the status is missing for our custom links. This could be a bug as it should have a default status icon if the property is missing.
