Hello Yves, I consider that it's more flexible not to add the @type value when a topic ref is inserted. In this way, if the type of the referenced topic changes (it was a task and then you change it to be a concept) then you do not need to remember to also update the <topicref>. What is your usecase? Do you have a CMS which requires the @type to be added? The DITA 1.2 specs is very vague:
When a referencing element is first added to or updated in a document, DITA aware editors may, but are not required to, set the type attribute value based on the actual type of a referenced DITA topic.

Hi group
When I add a topicref to a DITA map, I see that the @type attribute is left unspecified. It would be nice if the @type attribute would then automatically be filled in, depending on the information type of the topic. For example, when I add a topicref to a task topic, the @type attribute would automatically be type="task".
Is this possible or is this a new feature request?
Thanks
