Repeating of object fails "liveshared objects can not be made repeating"

This should be a simple operation: repeating an object on all pages: "liveshared objects can not be made repeating" ??
I don"t remember ever having "liveshared" any object, so what should I do about it ?

I think this message refers to Live Copies. A Live Copy cannot be made into a Repeating Object. I guess because their respective features are not compatible.

Do you know how do I disable this ?

I have just made a Live Copy of a Shape and Repeated both on other pages.
I also then created a Variant and everything still works.

Where you get the Error dialog is if you try to additionally try to Share with all Variants.
Omit this bit and you will be fine. In your case, probably use Website Variants > Stop sharing with variants.

Make sure there are no Live Copy elements in the Repeating Object.

I would not know how, maybe it's automatic if you work with variants (in my case main and mobile), I don't know; in this case it's the header image, but there is no stop sharing option (grey)possible ?

I could solve it by copy/pasting the image, delete the the original, etc, but that's not a very elegant way of dealing with the issue

What is a live copy element ?

I think you need to read the manual for Live Copies, Repeating Object and Sharing across Variants before trying anything else.

The tool should not force the user to analyse something he himself never wanted. I just want to disable this.

Why would I need to go through the manual if I never used or wanted to use livesharing ?

Assisting? You mean referring to the help files ?

Indeed, what a terribly useless and lazy bunch we all are.... ;)

Anyway, what you would like to disable cannot be disabled (afaik). Apparently, you try to do something the app isn't able to do. Hence the various pointers & questions as to the possible cause, as well as the advice to go through the help files to better understand the various dos and don'ts.

Starting with a review of the Help files for these topics would give us a common language and understanding. At present, if you don't know what the application is doing or why and we don't know what you are picking as options, we are never going to explain what you need to do to get on.

I refer to the Help files all the time and usually remark, "I didn't know that."
As I have a good memory and have been in the IT business for 30 years, I can usually work out a solution that I am happy to share for the general community.

You are getting a very good offer. In return we want your understanding and ultimately assistance back into TalkGraphics for others less knowledgeable.
