Created attachment 55768 [details] MASTER and SUB-docs with failing cross-references but only if HEADINGS in the sub-document ARE NOT local cross-referenced from itself... Or, in other words, if you write a sub-document in wich you make cross-references to some of its headins, you will then cross-reference this headins from a master document in wich you have inserted the sub-doc; the rest of the headings will look OK when you insert the cross-reference, but doing a "Tools/Update/Update All" will convert all cross-references in a "Error: Reference source not found" message. Here you are a demo of a master and sub document with failing cross-references...
Created attachment 55769 [details] Repaired MASTER and SUB-document with functionall cross-references To cross-reference the sub-document HEADINGS from the master-document, first you should cross-reference them from the same sub-document
I think this is merely a clearer description of the workaround indicated in comment 1 (although I am not certain). Added for clarity, in any case: 1. In the sub-document, at the required location (or highlighting the required range), Insert > Cross-reference... > Cross-references tab > Type of "Set reference" / "Bookmarks" > enter a meaningful Name > click Insert. 2. In the master document, Insert > Cross-reference... > Cross-references tab > Type of "Insert reference" / "Bookmarks" > select the required mark > click Insert. It may be that the current problem highlighted by this bug is actually a limitation of ODF. The ODF v1.2 specification is not very clear about how inter-document citations (of headings, bookmarks, or reference mark) are to be treated.
I forgot to mention that the provided examples still fail under: - Debian 7.3.0 x86_64 using v4.1.4.2 Build ID: 0a0440ccc0227ad9829de5f46be37cfb6edcf72 - Crunchbang 11 x86_64 using v4.2.0.4 Build ID: 05dceb5d363845f2cf968344d7adab8dcfb2ba71 OS set to All. The Writer Guide v4.0, Ch. 13, pp. 377-380, does however mention that this type of cross-reference between documents requires a reference mark to be set at the anchor point, so it may even be that this particular case is not a bug.

BUG confirmed as described in Comment 1 in version 4.4.7.2 over WinXP SP3; I'll check other versions and OS asap. If, as Owen says in Comment 2 and 3, it's supposed to be an expected behaviour, I would like to recommend to enhance it to make HEADINGS levels in sub-docs referable from master-docs. Attachments still reproduce precisely the bug.

I can confirm it in version 5.3 (I'll check the subversion asap) trying to reference sub-docs headings from containing master-document.
