Hi I basically followed the answers from here, but it turns out that the labelling basically woks, except for the referring to the same footnote. An "Table" is always set in front of the reference. I have a float table, where I want to place some referring footnotes to the same footnote. As I am working with Lyx, I have problems to generate here an mini working example, but basically, I did the same as in the link above. I attached a screen shot of the Lyx evironement.
I guess it trys to refer to the "Table a" footnote... but I have no idea how to get rid of this... I hope someone can help here. It is wired that no one else ran into this problem. At least I did not find any post on that topic.


.lyxfile in Notepad or some other text editor, and copy-paste the entire content into your question. After pasting, select the code and hit Ctrl + K. – Torbjørn T. Oct 19 '19 at 18:37
