I'm trying to use the same Map ID with more than one topic, which seems logical to me as a process that contains multiple screens could open an overview of the process, but I get an error that "The map number is already in this project".
I've tried manually editing the BSSCDefault.h file, but when I go back to RH the second topic is still showing the unique Map ID that I deleting.
How can I bypass this? Thanks.
One more thing: I just noticed that in the Edit Map IDs dialog box the Map ID and Topic Name columns use the same topic name (which also appears in the H file). This topic name also appears in the Page Title field of the TOC Properties dialog box, but the Link to field can have a different HTML filename. Is this ok?

Hi,
Make an overview topic and assign the map id to the overview topic instead of trying to add it to multiple topics.

Your logic is a bit flakey here - if you assign MapID 10 to 3 topics, which one is your application supposed to launch when it gets told "open MapID 10"? No wonder it gets confused - you always want to have a 1:1 link between MapID and topics.

My explanation was off. My bad.
At our company the developers assign unique IDs to each new screen they create. I must use this unique ID as a MAP ID. And the only way I can define multiple Map IDs (screens) to the same topic is to manually edit the H file.

That makes more sense - you can always have multiple places in the app point to the same topic (many:1, not 1:many)

The problem is that I have to edit the H file manually. RH9 only shows the first entry for any given topic.
