Conversion Xliff to Bcm - languageFile(xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx) failed: Revision and feedback containers are not allowed to be nested!

Hello everyone,

Today one of my collegues reported me the following issue after trying to check out one of our Groupshare projects using the online editor.

Error message dialog with the title 'Failed to open file'. The message states 'Failed to checkout the file for edit. Conversion Xliff to Bcm - languageFile(xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx) failed: Revision and feedback containers are not allowed to be nested!' with an exclamation warning icon and an 'OK' button.

It is possible to check it out using trados studio desktop (we are using 2022).

Our groupshare server version is UI: 15.2.0 GS: 15.2.0.1904 - GS 2020 SR2

How can I resolve the issue?

Thank you.

  •  : I had a lengthy support call with RWS today and this is apparently a known issue which occurs because the Online Editor's BCM format does not support nested track changes, while the XLIFF format in Trados Studio does. The only 'fix' available for now is to accept or reject all track changes in the file in Trados, then it will be openable again in the Online Editor, but this is obviously not a real solution.

    They have informed me they will be prioritizing a fix.

    If you want to quote it in any correspondence, our ticket number is CS0038985.
