Steps to reproduce

  1. In a sandbox, create a new note and paste this:

    ---
example:
---
block

    Description: A text-type property with no value, and a word in the note body.

  2. Remain in Live Preview. For the property value, enter an internal link to the block by letting Obsidian assign a block identifier:

Expected result

Expecting the generated block ID to be appended to the block.

Actual result

In the block, no block ID is appended.

In the property value, the link is created as expected but of course its destination isn’t created.

Additional information

  • Works as expected:

    • When the block is in another note
    • When creating the link in Source mode

  • Exhibits the behavior when all are true:

    • editing in Live Preview or Reading
    • creating the link in Properties
    • the block doesn’t already have an assigned unique block identifier
    • the block is in the same note, regardless of whether typing the note name [[note name#^5555]] or just the ID [[#^5555]].
