Renaming file does not update reference from within other notes' properties

[junwangzero]

What I’m trying to do

Have file:

• File1
• File2

in File2, I have a property From(text): [[File1]]

Now I’m trying to rename File1 to NewFile1

Expected Outcome

All instances of internal links to File1 will be renamed to NewFile1

Actual Outcome

References from within properties does not change, therefore I’m having dead link to File1 inside File2

I’m understanding this may be related to this behavior referenced below, but now that Obsidian has made metadata directly accessible to users maybe can you consider modify this behavior?
Thank you!

Renaming note does not update references in YAML blocks

I use YAML blocks in my notes, and I include references to related or parent notes in the block (Zettelkasten-style). Example: title: Child note title parent: [[Parent note title]] However, if I change a note title, I expect that all references to that note to be updated. This works except for references contained in YAML blocks. So in the example above, changing the note title “Parent note title” doesn’t affect the link “parent: [[Parent note title]]”

If you switch to Source Mode, do you see From(text): [[File1]] or From(text): "[[File1]]"? Links need to be quoted. This should happen automatically when you add it thru the property editor, but if you’ve added it via template or something then you have to make sure to quote. Properties - Obsidian Help
