Pin to a Text Frame paragraph not working

[obef]

Hello,

Perhaps I am the one who does not understand the concept, but I would like to address my problem to you.

Scenario: Master Page, two pages, with linked text frames. [MAC OSX 10.14.6, AP very. 1.7.2]

Now in Pages 1 and 2, I insert the text in the text frame created on the Master Page. I add on the Pages also other frames (text or graphics) that I would like to link to certain paragraphs of the "main Text Frame".
This is what the "Pin" should do, right?
Not really, I can not move the PIN from the beginning  of the Text Frame to the paragraph concerned, it remains "anchored" at the beginning of the text frame.
This is because I use the text frame created in the MasterPage, if instead I use a new Text Frame created on the Page everything works correctly, I can move the PIN where I like and the PIN drags the object in case of changes to the text, without any problems.

Is this behaviour ok? 

The solution to use Pin is: do not create Text Frames on the Master Page if you plan to PIN some object, but create Text Frame on Page to have it works correctly.
Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks & Ciao

After pinning your image...

On the page (not the master page) right-click the master page layer in the Layers panel then select Edit Detached

You can then move the PIN

Once you are done click the Finish button at the top of the screen

Hello,

This was one of the solutions I had "discovered" after making the post, but these in-outs was what I wanted to avoid, think if you have two or three of these objects per page...
However, thank you for your attention/help

Ciao

To avoid these detach-clicks you could place on master pages only those objects which do not need to become changed on document pages. If you need to place a particular pinned object within text frames on all pages but at different position you possibly may want to place that object not in the master text frame but on its document pages, were you can paste text and pinned items in master text frames without the need of detaching them.
