Link 'In Closed Workset' in Workset1 is closed

[divanciucova]

All Revit links in the model are in their own worksets. 

Link - S1

Link - S2

etc

If  Workset1 gets closed, these links appear as 'In Closed Workset' despite not being on Workset1

rename workset 1 to something else "do not use" and set your current workset to a different workset

then use worksets in a limited capacity

A cleaner solution would be removing all links and linking them one by one while changing the workset to that of each link. 

Ex. having workset 'Link - S2' active when linking solves this problem. 

Still quite tedious if you have 20 links and using 'by linked view' or link-specific overrides for most of them. 

I have encountered this behaviour in several Revit versions and multiple projects and different computers

That's why I'm curious if this buggy behaviour was spotted by anyone else.

it could also relate to the linked files not just the host file

If you select a Link in the view, you have a LinkedInstance. There is also a LinkedType in the database with it's own Workset. Click on Edit Type, and check if the LinkedType is in Workset1.

Works like a charm, thanks!
