Link styles no longer be available on link creation after D11.2/10.5 updates

Created on 30 June 2025, 15 days ago

Problem/Motivation

The ethos of this module from its project page is that "Link styles can be selected as the editor adds or edits a link, avoiding multiple steps." This seems to be no longer true with D11.2/10.5 and their upgrade to CKEditor 45.

When adding a new link to text, the link styles provided by this module are not available. I am using LinkIt and Editor Advanced Link. The link dialog used to contain link styles. Now it is only this:

When the link is inserted or when editing a previously added link, there is now an extra "Link Properties" button:

Clicking on this button gives the link styles previously available in the link dialog itself:

So we have an extra step to add link styles. Not the end of the world, but kinda annoying and requires retraining for my teams of users.

Proposed resolution

Not sure if this can be changed or if the only thing we can do is change the project documentation to reflect the new UI.

I've included links to related issues of other CKEditor-related modules that have had to create updates to work with CKEditor 45.
