Error: Missing dropdownBody in dropdrop effect in file

Post by Rene Severens »

Hi,
(Using MadCap Flare 9.1.2, creating CHM output)

To share some information, I discovered a build progress breaker.
This error "Internal error: Missing dropDownBody in dropdown effect in file" is given and stops the build progress, and is caused when marked a piece of text that includes one or more paragraphs AND a dropdown and then applied a conditiontag to it. When doing this the DropDownHeader is NOT given the condition. So when building, the compiler encounters a dropdownheader without the body and stops and throws this error.

The solution for this, is, mark all text, including the dropwdown, and group it into a DIV tag, and then apply the conditiontag to the DIV. The build now is OK.
If you want to test this in a random topic, a preview will do the same.

Greetings,
Rene Severens
