Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold and $S \subset X$ a closed complex submanifold. Given a closed $(1, 1)$-form $\alpha$ on $S$, is there always a closed $(1, 1)$-form $\beta$ on a neighborhood of $S$ in $X$ such that $[\beta|_S] = [\alpha]$ in $H^{1, 1}(S, \mathbb{C})$?
Note. This mathoverflow answer seems related, but I don't think it answers the above question. The proof of Theorem 4.1 in arXiv:math/0609617 begins by assuming that we have such an extension and pursue by proving positivity results. I fail to see how any of the ideas in the proof would help with the question above. But I might be wrong, so any help in that direction would be great too.
Addendum (In reply to Donu Arapura's answer). There is related work by Griffiths (The extension problem in complex analysis. II. Embeddings with positive normal bundle. Amer. J. Math. 88 (1966)), showing the obstruction to extending certain analytic objects from $S$ to a neighborhood of $S$ in $X$. For instance, it is proved that if $F \to S$ is a vector bundle which is the restriction of a vector bundle $E \to U$ on a neighborhood $U$ of $S$ in $X$, and $\alpha \in H^q(S, F)$, then the first order obstruction to extending $\alpha$ to an element of $H^q(U, E)$ (possibly after shrinking $U$) lies in $H^{q+1}(S, F \otimes N_S^*)$, where $N_S^*$ is the conormal bundle of $S$ in $X$, and it does not vanish in general. In our case, we can interpret $\alpha$ as an element of $H^1(S, T^*S)$. But this does not immediately fit into Griffiths work, since $T^*S$ does not generally extend to a vector bundle on a neighborhood of $S$ in $X$.
