Hi Kristen, Thanks for the report. You are right, Oxygen gets confused because inside the <topicmeta> there is a <metadata> element containing the keywords. But indeed this is correct according to the specification: https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/specs/langRef/base/metadata.html So we'll work to fix this. As a workaround if you do not need the <metadata> element for anything you can remove it from the <topicmeta>:

<topicmeta> <keywords> <keyword>WonderfulClient</keyword> </keywords> </topicmeta>

I have documents that use key-referenced <keyword> elements to hold client names. While these key references are properly resolved in output from the DITA-OT, they are not resolved in the oXygen authoring view, even when the root map for the document is set in the *DITA Maps Manager* view.

*Key definition*

<topicref keys="client"> <topicmeta> <metadata> <keywords> <keyword>WonderfulClient</keyword> </keywords> </metadata> </topicmeta> </topicref>

*Snippet from sample DITA topic*

<p>Implementing a DITA-based CCMS will be critical to provide the infrastructure that <keyword keyref="client"/> needs to develop and deliver intelligent content.</p>

*Authoring view*

Thought? Suggestions? Yes, conkeyrefs are resolved, but I was hoping to use simple key references for variables in this context of simplified DITA authoring. -- Best, Kris
