      Issue Summary

      In Confluence when the user creates an anchor in order to be able to click on a link and be redirected to a specific part of the page, if the same is being retrieved by using a Page Properties Report macro (that will carry content from the original Page Properties macro), it will not work.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. In Confluence, make sure to create a new page using the Page Properties macro and insert content inside the same. It's required to create tables to insert the content, so it will be displayed on the target page.
      2. In addition to the random content, make sure to add a link pointing to an anchor and insert this anchor outside of the page properties macro
      3. Put a label on this page, so it will be used later, on the target page.
      4. Publish the page
      5. Now, create a second page and insert the Page properties report macro and make sure to point it to the previously created page
      6. Publish the new page
      7. Tap the link that would redirect you to the anchor outside of the macro

      Expected Results

      The link should redirect the user to the target page, at the specific part of the same.

      Actual Results

      Tapping the link will do nothing. Only the URL will change to point to the anchor.

      Notes

      • If you put the anchor inside the Page Properties macro, it will work on the target page.
      • When observing the phenomenon, the URL changes to be adapted to the anchor, but, the page ID remains the same.

      Workaround

      • Put the anchor inside the page properties macro so the link will redirect it to the correct location.
      • Manually copy the URL that would work with the anchor, on the original page and then, paste it on the Web link option. This way, it will redirect the user to the correct location on the page.
