If I set this up & view in Oxygen 10.2, the first tile (TOPIC) displays the cref values just fine.
When I run any of the default transforms in Oxygen (to PDF, HTML, etc.), the cref value is blank. I'm not getting an error in the transform - says it transformed fine. But cref isn't working.
Clues on how to debug this? The cref is a major component of my documentation plans - I want to have pre-defined values that I can use in documentation so I don't need to update product names, release dates, and so on, inside the final documents.
