SSE Linked References for Map Markers

[nt5raham]

I'm actually working in xEdit, not CK. I'm trying to create a Persistent Map Marker in an existing player home mod where one did not exist before.

 

(The original author had the Map Marker under Temporary instead of Persistent, and when I flagged the mod as an ESM to reduce the number of references loading at startup, the Map Marker stopped showing up. I have removed the Temporary map marker.)

 

I'm having trouble specifically with the Linked Refences. I have used several working mods as patterns to create the Placed Object record for the map marker. When I try to enter the Ref data for the Linked References, xEdit produces an error.

 

The error is complaining that it found a CELL when it expected something else. But ALL of the working player housing mods I've looked at have a CELL reference here.

 

The map marker shows up and functions without this Linked Reference, black when undiscovered, white when discovered, and persistent.

1. What is the purpose of the Linked Reference in this context?
2. Will it hurt or break anything if I leave it out?

Thanks for the help!
