This is a supplementary report to Drag and drop from File Explorer ignores “New link format” setting and drops custom name.
I am adding further details here to explain the bugs shown in the screencap.
Additional information
Description:
As shown in the attached screencap, there is an inconsistency in link generation when the “new link format” is set to either “path from vault folder” or “path from current file”.
Behavior:
-
Via Link Suggestions: If you type
[[]]to openlink suggestionsand select a file, it generates the correct link with the custom name (display text).- Example (first line in the screencap):
[[Guides/folder/test ttt|test ttt]]
- Example (first line in the screencap):
-
Via Drag & Drop: If you drag the same .md file from the left
file browserinto the active document, the generated link is missing the custom name (display text). I marked this with abug(?)annotation in the screencap.-
Example:
[[Guides/folder/test ttt]](Bug?) -
As you can see, the
|test ttttext is missing here. This forces me to manually append the custom name (|test ttt) every time.

Hope this additional information helps! Let me know if you need anything else.
