MikeTO Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 In the original design for cross references we were able to enter Filter Text for anchors which I've used for every xref I've created. In build 1971, we can do this for paragraphs and index marks but not for anchors. Was this on purpose? The only workaround is to scroll the list of hundreds of anchors to find the right one. You can't activate the list and type the first letter to jump to the first item with that letter.

Staff Gabe Posted August 25, 2023 Staff Posted August 25, 2023 It looks like this was an intentional change. I'll raise an improvement. Quote

That's too bad, I don't know why you should be able to filter index marks but not anchors, they're both just markers. It worked well before.

MikeTO Posted August 30, 2023 Author Posted August 30, 2023 I'm redoing dozens of xrefs today and am really missing the ability to filter the list of anchors.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted November 29, 2023 Staff Posted November 29, 2023 I think we forgot to re-close it when the Anchors work was added/fixed. The history on that ticket is not clear MikeTO 1 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
