I am mirroring pages from one space to another via the "include content" element. The original page has lots of headings and a table of contents with an overview of all contained headings. 
Now on the mirrored page, clicking one of the links in the table of contents does not let you jump to the respective heading. It does change the https address visibly, but does not jump the heading like clicking it on the original page does.
It also doesnt take you to the original page.

Is this a known limitation or a bug?

Looking forward to insights on this issue!

Hi @Jonas Ast 

Welcome to the community.

Confluence does not support pulling headings from an Include Page or Excerpt macro into a Table of Contents (TOC) macro. This is a limitation in Confluence Cloud due to server-side rendering updates, meaning macros cannot dynamically scan and index header elements nested inside other included files
