Oxygen XML Forum

Hello,
I have a topic from which I want to reuse an ordered list in another topic.
If I generate an ID for the ordered list and try to reuse it with the "Reuse content from document" icon in the editor, it always complains that "An ordered list should have more than one list item".

Why does the editor not recognize that the inserted component is an ordered list with multiple list items?

Hello,

I guess you have a Schematron rule that triggers this error. The default DITA validation does not see any error there.

When you insert a content reference to a list, the result is as follows: So, indeed there is only one <li> element. But I think your Schematron rule (if that's the case) should ignore lists that have the "conref" attribute (which means you reused content and those lists are content references).

All the best,

Thanks for the reply! I was pretty sure I had the default validation active since I don't remember changing anything regarding that. But I just noticed that it was indeed set to Custom DITA Validation. Changing this to the default DITA map validation did indeed make everything green again!
