Hi! 

First off, I have slightly modified the addCrossReference function to support other types of references than page references. For instance, I usually want to make a "full context" cross reference in which case the $url in the addCrossReference function is set to:

$url = 'REF ' . $options['referenceName'] . ' \w \h';

Now to my issue, I have three levels of headings in my word template (Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3) which when used in the docx output looks like: 

1. Heading 1

1.1 Heading 2

1.1.1 Heading 3

If I add a bookmark to the text in Heading 3 and then set the referenceName to that bookmark, the cross reference is set to "1.1.1" in Word when I click "update fields" which is great. 

However, I sometimes include a custom list under a heading, such as: 

1.1 Heading 2

(A) some text (with bookmark on it)

(B) ...

The list is added with option 'outlineLvl' => 4. When I make a "full context" cross reference to the bookmark in (A) above, Word only displays (A) when I click "update field". I would like it to read 1.1(A) (as is the case if I - within Word - add a cross reference and select that list item in the "list items" view).

Is there any way to "connect" the headings and my sub-lists, so that the reference is automatically updated to for instance 1.2.5(B) when (B) under 1.2.5 is referenced?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Brc

Hello,

There's no way to connect a heading and a sublist and update the reference with phpdocx. Maybe using a custom macro could be a solution.

Regards.
