Renaming section title breaks anchor lnik
under review
Stephen Kairys
Suppose I have an article heading (e.g., h2). I link to it via the drop-down menu in the Link dialog box (Heading Three)
Problem: If at some future point, I rename the article heading (say, to Heading Three - Test), the link breaks b/c it's not updated to reflect the revised heading name.
This issue discourages us from leveraging this feature.
Thank you for your attention.

Stephen Kairys Shaunna Lacey we consider this as a functional gap which wasn't implemented. We will take it forward and analyse it.

Hi Stephen Kairys
Greetings!!! Thank you for raising your concern. When we change the headings, the new heading will reflect automatically in the drop down, however the previously added link with the old heading will not get updated automatically. This is the current implementation.
However we could see how badly it impacts your needs. We will raise this initernally with our team and do the needful at the earliest.

Vidhya: Thank you for your response.I'll look forward to further updates.

Hi Doc360
Do you have an ETA on this issue? It's preventing us from doing best practices for referencing section headers by selecting section name when creating a link. Thanks.

Vidhya: This is also causing us a lot of issues. We have to use headings as anchor links (can't add anchors anywhere in a doc) and this is making updating our documentation a lot more difficult. Every time we change a heading we are potentially breaking a lot of links. Our headings often represent setting names which do change sometimes.

Shaunna Lacey: Hi Shaunna Lacey We could truly understand your pain points here. Since the current functionality has to be completely revamped we need some time to resolve the issue. Also, I have raised this issue internally and our team will do their best at the earliest. We appreciate your patience and cooperation
