Import error: Circular reference (conref) detected
This error occurs when one of the files has a conref that references the same file. For example, a long topic reuses content from another section of the same topic.
Description
You receive a message in the Import Errors dialog similar to this:
Circular reference (conref) detected: ...\...\conrefPath
Solution
There are two options to resolve the issue:
- Find import.properties in Repository/system/conf, and make the edit
ALLOW_CIRCULAR_REFERENCES=true
(adding this parameter if required). - Remove the conref or change how the content in your files is structured.
