Link not updated

What I’m trying to do

I changed the name of a file linked to. But the link was not updated. Here is the link.

[description grounds inference in nature](description%20grounds%20inference%20about%20nature?.md)

I changed in in the file name to about. in was not updated in the link.

Things I have tried

I searched on the title of this post. There was a post about links not being updated when a vault was renamed. That didn’t seem relevant.

I also created a file; created another file; linked to the second file in the first file; changed the name of the second file; the link in the first file was updated.

What part of the link isn’t being updated?

[description grounds inference in nature]

or

(description%20grounds%20inference%20about%20nature?.md)?

The display text in the [square brackets] won’t be updated if you’ve changed it manually. The target link (in-the-parenthesis.md) should be updated if you change the name of the note.

Hmm. I.e., if I changed the display text prior to changing the name of the note? And it will be updated if I have not changed it manually before changing the name of the note?

I don’t remember whether I had changed it. Don’t doubt what you say. Far beyond me. Must be the explanation.

Thanks.

I deleted the link. Recreated it. Changed the name of the note. The display text was updated.

Thanks for educating me.
