    XRef idref attribute not recognized upon opening of XML file

      ***I suspect this might be an XSL-related solution***

       

      I've inherited a client's xml structapp that goes out to XML quite nicely, but doesn't read in the requisite idref upon opening in FM11.

       

      The read/write rules are fairly straightforward:

       

      element "xref"

      {

        is fm cross-reference element "XRef";

        attribute "xrefstyle" is fm property cross-reference format;

        attribute "linkend"           is fm property cross-reference id;

      }

       

      However, the linkend attribute is not populated upon opening, nor is the value (which is present in the XML file) passed as the cross-ref id into FM.

       

      Anyone have a solution?

       

      Could this be a result of XSL parsing, and might the XSL be dropping the attribute upon import prior to application of the RWR? I haven't dug into the import XSL yet, but suspect that's where I need to go.
