To use a Key Reference link in a topic, you have to manually enter in the keys="" into the map like this:

If you edit the map using the cross-reference menu icon, the keys are defined with a keydef, like this:

</topicref>

Only the first option results in the key appearing in the Key Reference selection drop-down when inserting a xref link into a topic. Why? Why does XML Editor not insert the keys definition into the map correctly so that it'll work? What is the purpose of this menu option relative to the maps?

@sschnelbach :

As I checked currently you have to do following:

- Add a topic ref pointing to any topic

- Then in editor, you have to remove the href, and then from properties panel you have to select an attribute "keyref" where you get the browse option which will open the dialog to choose the key

The above steps would achieve what you want - but these steps can be avoided by providing an option directly on "Insert Topicref" dialog to be able to add keyref instead of just href.

I hope this is what you are looking for. Once you confirm we can log a change request for same.
