Internal linking breaking when dragging node to create new file

🐛Bugs
#1

Steps to reproduce

Starting from scratch, what are the steps to make the bug happen? The fewer the steps, the better.

  1. Create a new node called “AAA”.
  2. Create a internal link to this node
  3. Move the node to “My Files”, creating a new file called “AAA”

Expected result

What do you expect to see after carrying out the steps above?

I expect the internal link to update, so it points to the file “AAA”.

Actual result

Instead of the expected result, what happened?

The internal link breaks when converting a linked node to a file.

Ah indeed a bug here, this specifically only affects dragging a node to become a document, and links that go to that node itself.

Hello @Shida,

Thanks for recognizing it as a bug. I ended up losing a few links when moving from node to new file… Not a big deal, though. Luckly I didn’t create many files.

Just one question: Is this fixable?
