Changing Card title updates links on other Cards
Card Creation
Surely it's been requested before, but it would be so helpful if, when we changed the title of a card, the links on other cards that directly referenced that name changed automatically as well. Alternatively, if there was a way to find a list of all the cards on which a specific card is linked, it would help us do this manually a little easier.

Hi all!
I'm Sandy, the product manager for card creation and editing functionality.
I appreciate your input and votes. Since we don't have plans to prioritize implementing this, I'm going to leave this post in "Open" status. That way, we can keep gathering input from other users and see how common this. I’ll revisit this post again when we’re ready to evaluate which enhancements to slot into our roadmap.
This will be a feature from Notion that I didn’t know I’d miss.
Must have! Please implement this.
Bumping this! If the titles of linked cards would automatically update when the source titles are changed, that would be super helpful for us. I see Sandy is no longer on the Guru team, so hoping this can get a nudge over to whomever took over!
When using Guru’s Card linking feature (the Guru “G” icon) to insert a link to a Card, when the linked Card’s title is updated, it will update automatically where it is linked. If the link doesn’t reflect the new Card title right away, try refreshing the webpage. However, if the link to the Card was added using hyperlinked text or the text was modified in any way, the linked text will need to be manually updated. Guru is erring on the side of caution with manually edited text, assuming it should not be overwritten.
It’s now easier to see which Cards are linked to the one being edited, too. From Card Details, navigate to “Cards that link to this Card”. This list will show exactly where that Card is linked out for quick title proofing.
If this hasn’t been your experience with Guru’s Card linking feature, please do let me know! I’ll connect you with Support so that we can troubleshoot an example with your team.
Thanks@Marie Frei ! I’ve been running into some trouble where the link I copy and put into the card is not updated to the current title. But I’ll play around with it some more and contact support with a screen recording next time it comes up. Thanks!
