Updating a file breaks links to files with the same name

I searched and was unable to find this specific bug posted, but their were a lot of bugs in this category, so apologies if this is a duplicate.

I have separate folders for each subject, and then I name most notes the date (in ISO 9000 format: 20251007). When I move one to a folder, it will update the links to the other ones despite them not needing to be updated.

For example:

  • I have a note named “Daily Tasks List/20251007”
  • I have a folder named “Daily Tasks List/Archive/”
  • I have another note named “Team meeting notes/20251007”
  • I have another note named “Team meeting notes/October minutes”
  • In October minutes I have linked “Team meeting notes/20251007” using the ![] operator
  • When I move “Daily Tasks List/20251007” to “Daily Tasks List/Archive”, It will update the ![] Link in the “Team meeting notes/October minutes” note, despite the “Team meeting notes/20251007” note not being moved.

My proposed solution: Search for all the notes that may potentially need to be updated, and then before updating them, check to see if the current link is still valid.

Optional: If it is still valid, maybe override the “automatically update internal links” and ask if they want it updated anyway (although, I would not prefer this, since it defeats the purpose of automatically updating links.

Oh - forgot, I am on linux v1.9.14

I have turned off “Automatically update links”, it looks like it prompts me when I create new notes with the same date also, so it’s not just when I’ve moved a pre-made note.
