Slabs not listing "Related Zone Number"

Slabs not listing "Related Zone Number" in my schedule despite the slabs being inside the Zone as you can see from the attached screen shot

Is this normal behaviour for Slabs?

As far as I know there is no relationship between zones and slabs.

There have been a few posts about it over the years, here is one...

In 22 the best we have is 'colliding' zones, but the zone and slab must overlap.

For outputting COBie everything you output has to have a Location and that is an association with a Space (Zone in ArchiCAD speak) so ArchiCAD has an attribute that is called Related Zone Name or you can use Related Zone Number

In our Model it was not working when the Slabs were in a Module file so we broke the Modules and it worked. We could see the assoctiated Zone but for some reason it is now not working again, which sadly I have had no luck working out why when it did use to work

Yes, they do. I just checked and it seems that Meshes still don't return any value for the Related Zone fields in Schedules.
So I would say that in case they also need to have this data, they should be converted to Morphs, which do return these values in Schedules.
