If you have a table where you have joined some row cells, the XML syntax uses the column names to indicate which cells are straddled.

Now if you rename a column in the colspecs, the straddle breaks, because the tool does not also rename all the references to that column name. See below where "newname" has replaced "c3".

Code: Select all


<tgroup cols="3">

                     <colspec colname="c1" colnum="1" colwidth="1.0*"/>

                     <colspec colname="c2" colnum="2" colwidth="1*"/>

                     <colspec colname="newname" colnum="3" colwidth="1.0*"/>

                     <thead>

                        <row>

                           <entry/>

                           <entry namest="c2" nameend="c3"/>

                        </row>

                     </thead>

                     <tbody>

                        <row>

                           <entry/>

                           <entry/>

                           <entry/>

                        </row>

                     </tbody>

                  </tgroup>

best regards

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the report, we know about this limitation and we'll update this forum thread when the issue gets fixed.

Hi,

Starting with Oxygen 19.1 when you rename a column using the Attributes view in the Author visual editing mode, all references to that column's name will be updated.
