Understanding “unresolved proxy” messages when validating models and broken links issues

Troubleshooting


Problem

When working with multiple interrelated models or fragments in a team, some particular use cases can lead to broken references inside the models. This means that the tool can no longer get access to certain elements that are still referenced by currently existing elements, and you will get []unresolved proxy[] errors.

Symptom

When running a model validation you will see:

    The feature XXX of element YYY contains an unresolved proxy

In diagrams, broken links will be shown with a cross in a circle as below:
