Is it possible to update page urls on links automatically?

Hi all,

This is more of a general question than a problem per say.

Anyway I have been using the AssistedURL module for call to action links among other things, on the whole its a great module so shout out to the developers.

That said I just noticed that if you update a linked PW page's name/url any link field on other pages using AssistedURL don't update automatically.

If this is a limitation then thats fine just thought I would ask incase there is a setting either at module or sitewide level that I am missing that enables this to happen.

That's a limitation. The URL field type (which AssistedURL adds JS sugar to) doesn't store a page id for underlying URLs, so it has no way of knowing that the link is an internal one and that the URL has changed. I solved that problem by using a radio button that switches between the URL field (for non-PW links) and a regular page field. That's not perfect, but it works so far (quite a few years by now, actually) and I haven't had any user complaints.
