to draw.io Q&A
Hey team,
We're currently using the diagram editor inside of WikiJS and scoping it out for use with internal workflows.
A key feature we want is the ability to link different endpoints of a flowchart to other wiki pages within wiki.js
It appears that this should work in draw.io, I use the desktop version to create flowcharts as PDF.
However, every time I add text to more than 1 shape in my flowchart the links either all stop working or just one of them does.
We've been trying to identify exactly what causes it, and my best guess is that it's something to do with the layers in the image. If we have no text in the flowchart at all, we can hyperlink every shape to a different place. However, once we add text anywhere in the flow chart, the text becomes selectable and the links for all the shapes stop working.
Is there a styling trick to get around this?
Key Point: Want multiple links on flow chart, current draw.io seems to limit to 1 link per flow chart.

Is this repeatable on app.diagrams.net?

I've attempted to recreate the issue using this document (attached)
But, it appears to work flawlessly when exporting from that system as HTML/SVG
The issue appears to be within the WikiJS 'diagram' editor and then how the diagram is shown in the page.
The version of draw.io/diagram editor is v21.6.5 if that helps. Is this a WikiJS exclusive issue?

This turns out to be related to something with WikiJS
Found a fix here for anyone searching: https://github.com/requarks/wiki/discussions/6079#discussioncomment-5292692
Turn off Word Wrap / Formatted Text options for everything in your chart and you can have multiple links work with WikiJS.
