Please give us a description of what happened.

When we use the edit-link from the plugin, there is a problem that when we focus on another edit-link, we keep the state of the previous one and the state of the current one does not match reality

How can we reproduce this behavior?

1. Select several parts of the text and create an edit link
2. Open any edit-link and change something
3. Then change the focus to another edit-link

The state of the previous one will be saved to the current one, after which there will continue to be a constant copying of states when focusing on other links from edit-link

As a quick fix i used following snippet. onChangeLink = () => { ... } ( [ linkValue ] ); // Add dependencies

@josevarghese Hello, if we create two links and open a modal window to change the settings of these links, and if we click on the second link when the cursor is on the first link and try to change the settings, then the first link will be changed instead of the second link and the cursor, as we see after clicking on SAVE, the settings of the first link will be changed

Need add dependencies for function onChangeLink = () => { ... } ( [ linkValue ] ); // Add dependencies

Hi @Zilero232

Thanks for the video. A hyperlink should be added for words or sentences. However, within your video, I noticed that the two links were added for a single word without any space in between them to differentiate them. I tried to link the words in a sentence on my lab site for two words and noticed that link settings are saved without any issues. See the screencast over here for your reference: https://www.loom.com/share/45e36684e3554325a91f45696e76e3a3.

So, can you please try adding a space between the words to make them separate words and then adding the links for each word?

We look forward to hearing from you.
