Not all CMS pages are available for internal backlinking in a CMS item's rich text field

Design help General
1

Aim: I would like to build internal backlinking between my blog posts. That is, I would like my blog posts to link to other blog posts on my Webflow site, using in-text anchors (blue underlined text that leads you to another web page when clicked upon). All my blog posts are part of the same CMS Collection /blog/blog-page

Problem: When I follow the below set of actions, I can only see some of the CMS pages.

CMS Collections > Blogs > Pick a Blog Page > Edit Post Body (rich text field) > Highlight text > Add link > Link Type: Page > Select a Page > Open dropdown > [Here I am supposed to find all the pages on my site but some are not visible]

Potential cause: I have 16 CMS collections with a total of 200+ items. Not everything fits in the dropdown?

Could you help me solve the issue?

Here is my site Read-Only: [LINK][1]

[1]: READ ONLY

200+ is nothing, and you should see all items.
Could be cache interference, or a browser plug-in interfering, or server-side issues.

In reality though it’s irrelevant, because the links form the same if you create them manually, like /blog/my-blog-post. It’s less convenient but works the same way.

If I use the workaround you suggested, what would happen when a change the URL or slug of the targeted blog post?

Thanks @memetican !

Links in rich text content aren’t “bound” to the target in the same way that links created in the designer settings panel are.

If you use the rich-text linking tool and then change the target path, that link is broken. This is one of the reasons I think Webflow began automatically creating redirects when you change page slugs, as an added safety.
