Editor overrides custom link text with meta info

[Georgi]

Sup fellas!

How about you dumb down your editor by an inch and let users decide how they want their links to look. I’m sure I’m not the first one suggesting this, but I haven’t found convincing discussions.

Some people use Trello for IT purposes. Sometimes different links may have the same, irrelevant, or even confusing meta information. Your editor reads meta without asking, and this can create a struggle.

I understand you want to be helpful or “cool and fancy-smart” by detecting the meta once a URL is added. At the very least, if a user enters text value manually, respect it. Why wouldn’t you?

Reproduce:

1. Click c+k or the add link button.

2. Insert URL into both fields (text and link) and save.

3. The link text switches to meta description.

Expected:
The link text stays as entered (duh).

Many thanks for considering.

Best,
G.
