We have a client-supplied workspace (FDOT) with annotation groups and definitions that will annotate the drainage nodes and conduits in profiles. All well and good. However, we have noticed (mostly with the conduits/pipes) that the annotation is pulling the wrong Feature Name. I have run into this same issue when setting up an annotation from scratch, so don't believe it is workspace-related.
Here is a perfect example. This link is named P-105. All properties show that EXCEPT when we use the Text Favorite Manager to select the element to populate the Feature Name property. Here you can see that the Feature Name property is showing as P-106. Literally everywhere else we check, it is set to P-105. The profile annotation is labeling as P-106 instead of P-105.
If I select the link in profile (plan, and 3D for that matter) it shows correctly as P-105. You can see here that the annotation in the profile shows P-106 incorrectly.
This is just one example but it has shown up on multiple pipes and in different projects. Has anyone encountered this and is there a fix in 2021 R2?
Or is this something that was captured under the Defects Fixed in 2022 R1 here?
Eddie:
I do suggest that some of FDOTs annotation scripts have not been updated to the later versions of the software (indeed, anytime there is a schema change, I shake quite a bit). The fix is to update the text favorites in the dgnlibs to the latest schema. I do not know if this is possible for you to do on-site. In any regards, FDOT needs to be made aware of this issue.

Thanks, Mark! I checked the DGNLIB that houses the Text Favorites in Civil File Manager and it appears to have all the correct schema for our current version (10.10.21.4). Doesn't seem to have made a difference since there was nothing to upgrade.
I may have to try making a brand new DGNLIB and add the annotations there.

Eddie, are you still having issues with this or have you found a resolution? I'm having the same problem with incorrect pipe annotations. Thank you!
Yes, we are and will be submitting an SR.
I need to go back over our annotations (again) for 10.12. I have no idea as to exactly why Bentley changes these groups at their whim. Absolutely aggrevating.
Best Regards,
