The problem is likely due to the fact that you are using automatic link updates in the document. Try manually updating the links to see the changes in the paragraph text. It may also be worth checking the auto-refresh settings in your text editor to make sure they are set correctly to update the text when the source document changes.

Hi!
I've attached a example document.
I have two chapters with two cross references to a bullet list below.
The first reference to "Paragraph number" and the second to "Paragraph test".

I've used "Cross reference" from the top meny, and under the "Insert reference to" roll-down I've used "Paragraph number (Full context)" for the [Ref01] data and "Paragraph text" for the "Document 1" data.

What I want:
I want to be able to change the Document 1 text - and get that updated in the Cross reference above.

If I change the Document 1 name, Press F9, the info isn't updated. If I press Ctrl-A and then F9, the info isn't updated...

What am I doing wrong?

If I insert a new row between Ref1 and ref 2 - the [Ref0x] is updated above, the Document y follows - so that works.

BUT - How do I reference to get the Document name to update when I change that in the list below? I mean - I create a reference, a link to the Text - but it wont update/change when I change it. Am I only creating a link - and not a TExt field that will update it's content.

I want the same type of link as I get with the Figura and Table Caption - If I update the Caption name to a figure - it updates the text in the link also!
