Affinity Publisher Book export issue (ENDNOTE back linking doesn't work)

[Marcocampo]

Hi Affinity Team,

just working on a book (catalogue) in scientific context. So I am very happy about the endnotes. But I discovered a bug while exporting a book (with serveral chapters) with endnotes (at the bookend). I already wrote about here, but since this has to be a bug report, I write it again.

When generating automatic hyperlinks to the endnote, then the endnote itself should provide a back-hyperlink to the sourcepage. This works correct in a document with endnotes at the end of the document. But it does not work in a book with chapters, at the end of the book.

This was reproducible for me, see the attached book-files (mac-dmg) as well the generated PDF

best, Marcus

I've confirmed this bug. Hyperlinks from the numbers in note bodies at the end of a book aren't linked back to the note numbers in the chapter main text. They are from the main text to the note body.

Here's a simple test book.

Thanks for your report and files provided!

I've been able to replicate this issue and I've logged it with our development team to be resolved ASAP.

I hope this helps
