If I create a nested document, open it, then rename it, the name as shown in the parent doc link does not change (and cannot be changed). Further, if I use # to insert another link to the same nested doc, this shows its ORIGINAL name, not its current name. The nested doc appears with its new name …

Just joined the forum actually to ask about this. It seems that this is still the case. Are there plans to fix this so that we can update document names without causing confusion?

[FIXED] After being renamed, a nested doc still shows its original name in its parent doc (and other links)
