Missing keys/keyrefs no longer general filler content in the PDF

Missing keys/keyrefs used to generate specific “filler” content in the PDF: Key definition for "{keyrefName}" not found in the DITA map.

 

With our upgrade to v5.1.1, this filler content no longer generates in the PDF and instead nothing generates to indicate any missing keys. Was this intentional? Is the only wayt to find missing keys to preview on-screen and look for red?

    Hi ​@sschnelbach 
    We can view the broken links, which can be for DITA topics, multimedia file references, content key references, and so on. You also have the ability to fix them here itself.

    For variables defined in the map as:

    <keydef keys="LONG_PRODUCT_NAME">
        <topicmeta>
          <keywords>
            <keyword>DXM Wireless Controller</keyword>
          </keywords>
        </topicmeta>
      </keydef>

    And inserted into a topic as:

    <keyword keyref="LONG_PRODUCT_NAME"/>

     

    The Broken links report does not catch when these keydefs are not defined in the map. Was that intentional? Or forgotten? For these, we still have to Preview the map and manually look for red since the PDF no longer includes that text I mentioned above.

    Whereas image variables defined directly in the map DO report as missing when they are missing and do not report as missing after they are added to the map (not to a conkeyref topic or a variable topic).
