Modern Quick Links webpart limitation ?

Hi

I'm using the modern quick links webpart and I can only add six links, after this the new links are not shown. Actually It looks Ok after first save but when I hit refresh the new links are gone.

 

Also tried adding another Quick links webpart to the same page and I can't add any new links to this either.

 

Anyone that knows if there's a limitation or any other idea why this is happening ?

 

Regards

    I have just tested the Quick Links WebPart on a demo site and I have been able to add seven links with no problems...could it be a problem of your page?

      Hi

      Thank you for your quick answer!

       

      I have now found the problem and it was that some of the links (that is SharePoint pages in the same site Collection) had some weird characters added at the end.

      The characters where: %E2%80%8B

      I could confirm this by adding one of those links first and it was not saved. So it didn't have anything to do with any limitations to six links.

       

      Example of a URL to a page:

      https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sitepages/myexamplepage%E2%80%8B.aspx

       

      Solution was to change the page name and remove the trailing characters in the properties  and then it worked.

       

      This is newly created modern pages and I do not know why those characters are added at the end for some pages and I have not changed the name other than in the page header.

       

      Regards
