ID set on Section Component not recognized by link elements

Design help General

Hello Webflow Community,

I’m facing an issue with setting IDs on a section element within a Webflow component. Here’s what I did:

1.	Created a component with a section as the outermost element.
2.	Assigned an ID to the section via the component’s properties.
3.	Added the component instance to a page and set an ID through the prop.

However, the ID does not appear in the link settings dropdown, and the link element does not recognize the section.

Steps I’ve taken to troubleshoot:

•	Verified the ID is correctly assigned to the component instance.
•	Inspected the HTML of the published page using developer tools to check if the ID is present.
•	Cleared browser cache and used an incognito window.
•	Checked for duplicate IDs on the page.

Despite these efforts, the problem persists. Is this a bug, or am I missing something? Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Same thing on my side, component linked ID is not detected by the link block internal section link settings. Not entirely sure why that is the case.

Worked around by manually typing in the anchor link under the link block URL setting. It works the same way by typing in the link https://sample.com/#ID for anchoring to the section you set the ID on.

@webflow: It looks like this is still a thing. Are you looking into it?
