Issue Description
You have created different Design Options in a Teamwork Project, and after using the Accept & Merge command on a Design Option, elements from other deleted options in the set are lingering in the background. These items have a Missing Design Option status and are visible in other Design Options.
Solution
This occurs if the elements in any of the deleted Design Options were Reserved by a different user than the one who performed the Accept & Merge action.
Recommended Workflow to avoid the issue
Make sure all users in the project Release All before Relinking elements to a Design Option.
Once everyone is done working on the design options and ready to merge them into the main model, Release All elements
Perform Accept & Merge on the desired Design Option.
