Imported files appear to be unlinked (but are still linked)
Posted: Thu Jun 17, 2021 1:17 pm
I have a child project imports snippets from a global project. Normally, the snippets that are imported have a link icon next to the name indicating that the snippets aren't local. Additionally, when you attempt to edit one of these files you will get a dialog explaining that the document is a linked document.
My problem is that for some imported snippets in my child project, the link icon has disappeared and I no longer receive the warning message. It appears these snippets have been unlinked. However, if I make changes to one of these seemingly unlinked files and then run another import, my local changes are overwritten with the snippet content from the global project. This means the snippet is still linked even though it appears to be unlinked.
Imports are still working, but the link icon has disappeared and no warning pops up when editing these snippets. It's very strange. How do I make the link icon reappear for these snippets?
I should note that in my import file when I click "Imported Files" to view the imported files, it's blank, even though I know the files are being imported because I can make a change to a snippet in the global project and it's imported to my child project when I run the import.
