      Problem

      When changing the name of the anchor for a preexisting one, the Anchor link breaks.

      Replication Steps

      1. Create an Anchor macro with a name.
      2. On another page with the page and anchor name, add a link » Advanced.
        • Confirm it works.
      3. Navigate back to the page with the Anchor macro and change the name by appending a one to the name.
      4. Check the link that still works.
        1. However, if you edit the page and link, it breaks.

      Solution

      Change the code to allow users to change the Anchor name without it breaking the link.
