      Issue Summary

      Currently, the URL generated by the “Copy Link to Heading” feature does not use a TinyURL or a permanent link to the page. Instead, it includes the page title in the URL path. As a result, if the page is renamed, the copied link becomes invalid, since the URL changes along with the page title.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Add a Heading(Heading 1 to Heading 6) to a Confluence page and copy the link generated via "Copy Link to Heading" when you hover the added Heading.
      2. The copied URL contains the PageTitle, which will stop working once the underlying page has been renamed.

      Expected Results

      The URL copied from the 'Copy Link to Heading' should work if the page has been renamed.

      Actual Results

      The URL copied from the 'Copy Link to Heading' doesn't work if the page has been renamed as it contains the Page Title.

      Workaround

      Currently, there is no known workaround for this behaviour. A workaround will be added here when available
