Observation pattern not handled

[mahyarkarimi]

elevating stix version 1 containing an indicator which indicates an observable as the pattern is not correctly handled. due to this error the relationship object which it has to relate indicator to observable has no target_ref parameter and validation fails.
here is the stix1.xml file contents:

Hi @mahyarkarimi,

Here is your observable:

        <indicator:Observable idref="opensource:Observable-1bfd9505-043c-4996-8bea-a18f93d61755">
        </indicator:Observable>

This is a reference to an Observable defined elsewhere - but you do not include it in the XML

The same is true for the indicated TTP

The xml content you sent was malformed, so I corrected it and included it. Please include the definition of the objects you referenced using idrefs and you should get better results. If not please send back the changed file and I will continue to look into this issue.
