<p>I would like to add that I have defined topic templates in my
custom framework in which I have used the same setting which I
used for "DITA > ID Option". For example:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><br>
<!DOCTYPE task PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA General Task//EN"
"generalTask.dtd"><br>
<br>
<task id="<b>${localName}_${id}</b>" xml:lang = "en-US"><br>
<title>xxxTITLExxx</title><br>
<shortdesc>xxxSHORTDESCRIPTIONxxx</shortdesc><br>
<taskbody><br>
<steps><br>
<step><br>
<cmd>xxxFIRST_STEPxxx</cmd><br>
</step><br>
</steps><br>
</taskbody><br>
</task><br>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I understand that a topic ID must be unique within the scope of
the root ditamap used for publishing the content. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>FrameMaker, which I used previously, creates IDs of the type<br>
</p>
<p><font size="4" face="monospace"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="monospace">id172OC0C03J7</font></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So there is an arbitrary combination of 11 digits and letters.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In oXygen I have set the "DITA > ID Option" as follows:<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><font size="4"><font face="monospace">${localName}_${id}</font></font></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Which creates IDs of the following type:</p>
<p><font size="4" face="monospace"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="monospace">task_rf2_vcg_ywb</font></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>So there is an arbitrary combination of only 9 characters,
mostly letters. But perhaps sufficient for ensuring
uniqueness...</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>However, when I use the "DITA > Insert > Insert New DITA
Resource" command, oXygen does not honor the "ID Option"
setting, but creates IDs which are identical to the file name. <br>
</p>
<p>This is not what I want and surely not suitable for ensuring
uniqueness.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>How can I get oXygen to honor the "ID Option" setting or make
it otherwise generate IDs with arbitrary characters which are
likely to be unique?<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Frank<br>
