When updating a filename, it doesn't update in property strings

Before opening a new bug report, please search the forum for duplicates and follow the Troubleshooting Guide.

  • We only consider bugs that are reproducible in the sandbox vault or a vault with no third-party plugins/no css snippets/default theme.
  • For Linux, we only accept bug reports that are reproducible with our Appimage package under Gnome or KDE.
  • Developer issues with the API should go here
  • Themes and Custom CSS issues should go here

Once you’ve done the above, delete everything above this line.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create two files, one called foo the other called target
  2. In target set the content to
---
test: 6 [[foo]]
---
[[foo]]
  1. Change the filename of foo.
  2. The wikilink outside the properties updates but not the one within it.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

I created an empty vault with just the two test files and the behavior continued.

Expected result

I expect all instances of [[foo]] to become instances of [[bar]] when I change foo’s name to bar

Actual result

Additional information

That’s not a bug, but more of a feature. The only text which is recognised as a link in the properties are this form: test: "[foo]"

The moment you add something else to that text, it’s just a text. So text in properties are not parsed as markdown, and links outside of the example above are not recognised as true links by Obsidian.
