Publisher 2.2.0: Cross reference "Note Number" variable does not work with anchors

[mwdiers]

If an anchor is placed in a Footnote, and a cross reference is created for that anchor, the "Note Number" variable returns "0" instead of the footnote number.

It works correctly if a Paragraph cross-reference is used instead. However, it would be much better if the paragraph references showed the note number in the insert cross reference dialog box. For a document with a large number of cross references, it can be hard to find the correct one, even when filtering by my footnote style.

Please see my reply to your earlier post - targeting an anchor in the note body is working fine for me and I uploaded a sample document for you to try out. If you can't get it to work could you upload a test document showing the issue? Perhaps we're doing things in a different way, or perhaps it works on macOS but not Windows.

Cheers

Just replying here as well. I could not reproduce the issue even in my own book. On a later launch of Publisher, it is working fine. If I am able to consistently reproduce the issue and can document the steps, I will reply here again.
