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?

Yes, a menu option to add the key to the map would be nice. In XMetaL, when editing the map, you select a topic, click Properties within the map editor, and you can add the Key in a field. If you can have a similar option within the map editor for Guides, that would be great.

It looks like most of the menu options when editing a map remain the same as when editing a topic, which implies these options will work when they do not.

Acknowledged.

I have raised a change request and engineering will pick this up soon.
