I think that indicator will only say Yes, if a document has been connected to the export control license. Above, it seems like you are creating a new license and that one cannot be connected to a document until it has been created.

I tried this myself and I think there is a bug in the Export License page when it checks if a document is connected. I recommend you file a support case and tell them that there is an error in this line:

Doc_Reference_Object_API.Exist_Obj_Reference('ExportLicense', client_sys.get_key_reference('ExportLicense','export_license_id',export_license_id))

It should look like this:

Doc_Reference_Object_API.Exist_Obj_Reference('ExportLicense', client_sys.get_key_reference('ExportLicense','EXPORT_LICENSE_ID',export_license_id))

The difference is subtle, yes
 

Hi Mathias and thanks for your answer. 

We’ve logged a case as you suggested.

Feedback received is that if their investigation reveal the presence of a core defect or a documentation gap, the necessary corrective measures will be included in a forthcoming product release.

Regards.

Thanks for reporting back!
