I'm using a smart object at two places (in the same file), and I need them to be linked, so that if I edit the content of one, the changes are applied on the other.
And it's working fine… until I use one of these smart objects inside another smart object. From the moment I create this third smart object, the link is broken, and the content doesn't update anymore.
One workaround is to use an external file imported as a link, but is there a way not to break the link in the first place?
EDIT
Screenshot of my layers to clarify:
The complete artwork: "hex" and "bg" are both in the main picture and in the "bg copy" smart object, but the link is broken…
Here's the content of the 3rd smart object (the one called "bg copy" in the previous capture).
bg copy
Smart Object back to the main document and make a new copy of the bg Smart Object to replace that old copy and maybe group them if you feel you need that. This wouldn't change anything visually, but the SO link would not be broken anymore.
