Resolved - LMP248 Can't insert footnotes in text before quoted structure (i.e. within mod element)

Issue description

It isn’t possible to insert a footnote within the text before a quoted structure because that text is wrapped in a <mod> element.

Workaround

Footnotes are allowed within <mod> elements but currently the context rules mean that the insert option isn’t showing in the relevant menus when the cursor is within a <mod> element.

To get around this, you need to create the footnote somewhere else and then cut and paste it into the correct location.

1. Place your cursor within text that is not text before a quoted structure.

2. Insert a footnote (e.g. use the ALT+F shortcut or use the right-click menu option “Insert Footnote”)

3. Click on the footnote to expand it.

4. Click on the “Footnote” breadcrumb which will either be at the top or bottom of the Editor pane depending on your settings

   

5. Cut the footnote by pressing CTRL+X.

6. Place your cursor where you actually want the footnote to be.

7. Paste in the footnote by pressing CTRL+V.
