Table validation problem
I have a table in which the first cell of some rows spans the first three columns.
This causes validation errors in Oxygen 19, and I don't know how to fix them.
Here is an excerpt of the code:
All entries that contain the following are marked as invalid:
The error message is: "This cell overlaps one or more previous cells."
I don't understand where the cells are overlapping.
Can anybody help?
Kind regards

Re: Table validation problem
Hi,
The problem is that you set both colname and namest/nameend properties on these cells.
The colname property specifies the table column name in which the entry is found and by setting the namest/nameend pair you specify a range of cells on which the cell must span. So there is a conflict between the meaning of the properties that are set on the entry.
However, I agree that the error that appears in this case is not clear enough. I have added an improvement request in our internal isuue tracker for this.
Best regards,
Mihaela
