Unresolvable link in conref source topic

I'm conreffing content into a topic from a conref source topic. The conref source topic contains a link to a topic that is not in my current map. However, that link is not included in the content that I am conreffing into my topic. But Publication Manager still tries to resolve that link, even though it is not part of the conreffed content. The unresolved link prevents the publication from being released. Is that expected behavior?

  • Thanks, Kavitha. That is what we did as a workaround. But luckily, that topic did not have any links in it. It if had, Pub Manager would have tried to resolve those links as well. It's sort of the same issue where Pub Manager tries to resolve links that are conditionalized out of the pub. Except in that case, it doesn't report a problem until you try and release the publication. I think it's a huge flaw.
