  • What were you doing: Using the backlinks feature.
  • What feature did you use: The backlinks.
  • What happened: On the backlinks panel, sometimes it shows that a note has a link to this note, but it doesn’t show the text, just the note title. I think this happens only with imported notes. If you go to the paragraph that has the link, delete the link and write it again, the issue is resolved. But I have this issue with hundreds of notes, so not good.
  • What did you expect to happen: I expect to see the paragraph that links to this note.

This image shows the backlinks panel of one note. You can see I have 2 backlinks that only show the title of the note:

1298×138 6.64 KB

I also had this happen to me, only recently though (past month or so)!

If you edit the Letras de Regula... note, do you see the backlink appearing correctly in the other note?

Yes, if I go to “Letras de Re..” note, delete the link, and write the link again. It will show up correctly. But as I said, I am having this issue in hundreds of notes, so fixing them manually is not an option.

Can confirm this is still an issue on 2.7.4 (14324). Several of my backlinks show only the title of the note as shown by OP. Editing the wikilink in the source note resolve that problem for that particular backlink, but that is not a viable solution, unfortunately.
