# Glossary Term Permanent Link - Implementation Complete ✅
2+
3+
## Overview
4+
5+
Implemented a permanent link feature for Glossary Terms that provides stable URLs based on UUID, solving the link breakage issue when terms are renamed.
6+
7+
---
8+
9+
## What Changed
10+
11+
### User-Facing Changes
12+
13+
**New Copy Link Dropdown Menu:**
14+
15+
Users can now click the copy button (📋) next to the glossary term title to access two link options:
16+
17+
```
18+
Term Name [📋▼] [⭐ Follow]
19+
↓ Click to expand
20+
┌────────────────────────────┐
21+
│ 🔗 Copy URL based on FQN │ ← 12px font
22+
│ 📋 Copy URL based on ID │ ← 12px font
23+
└────────────────────────────┘
24+
25+
Appears bottom-right
26+
180px min width
27+
```
28+
29+
**Two Link Types:**
30+
31+
| Type | Menu Text | URL Format | Stability |
32+
|------|-----------|------------|-----------|
33+
| FQN Link | Copy URL based on FQN | `/glossary/Glossary.Term` | ❌ Breaks on rename |
34+
| ID Link | Copy URL based on ID | `/glossary/{uuid}` | ✅ Permanent |
35+
36+

37+
38+
## Modified Files
39+
40+
### Core Code (3 files)
41+
42+
1. **EntityHeaderTitle.component.tsx** ⭐ Main change
43+
- Added dropdown menu logic for copy button
44+
- Implemented FQN and ID link copying
45+
- Font size: 12px
46+
- Dropdown width: 180px min
47+
- Position: bottomRight
48+
49+
2. **EntityHeaderTitle.interface.ts**
50+
- Added `entityId?: string` prop
51+
- Added `entityFqn?: string` prop
52+
53+
3. **EntityHeader.component.tsx**
54+
- Pass `entityData.id` and `entityData.fullyQualifiedName` to EntityHeaderTitle
55+
56+
### Translation Files (1 file - English only)
57+
58+
4. **en-us.json**
59+
- `copy-fqn-link`: "Copy URL based on FQN"
60+
- `copy-permanent-link`: "Copy URL based on ID"
61+
- `copy-link`: "Copy Link"
62+
63+
**Note:** Chinese translations were removed per user request. The feature uses existing generic messages:
64+
- Success: `message.copied-to-clipboard`
65+
- Error: `server.unexpected-error`
66+
67+
---
68+
69+
## Technical Implementation
70+
71+
### Key Features
72+
73+
1. **Backward Compatible**
74+
- If `entityId` and `entityFqn` are not provided → Original single copy button
75+
- If both are provided → New dropdown menu with two options
76+
77+
2. **Smart URL Construction**
78+
```typescript
79+
// FQN Link - Always rebuilt from entity data
80+
const fqnUrl = `${window.location.origin}/glossary/${encodeURIComponent(entityFqn)}`;
81+
82+
// ID Link - Always uses UUID
83+
const permanentUrl = `${window.location.origin}/glossary/${entityId}`;
84+
```
85+
86+
3. **Leverages Existing Backend**
87+
- No backend changes needed
88+
- Uses existing API: `GET /v1/glossaryTerms/{id}`
89+
- Frontend route `/glossary/{fqn}` already supports UUID
90+
91+

92+
93+
## Testing
94+
95+
### Quick Test
96+
97+
```bash
98+
# 1. Build frontend
99+
cd /workspace/openmetadata-ui/src/main/resources/ui
100+
yarn build
101+
102+
# 2. Start server
103+
cd /workspace
104+
./bin/openmetadata-server-start.sh
105+
106+
# 3. Open browser
107+
open http://localhost:8585
108+
```
109+
110+
### Test Cases
111+
112+
**Test 1: Menu Display**
113+
- Open any glossary term page
114+
- Click copy button (📋) next to title
115+
- ✅ Verify dropdown appears bottom-right
116+
- ✅ Verify menu shows:
117+
- "Copy URL based on FQN"
118+
- "Copy URL based on ID"
119+
- ✅ Verify font size is 12px (smaller than title)
120+
121+
**Test 2: Copy FQN Link**
122+
- Click "Copy URL based on FQN"
123+
- ✅ Toast shows: "Copied to the clipboard"
124+
- Paste in new tab
125+
- ✅ URL format: `/glossary/Glossary.Term`
126+
- ✅ Page loads correctly
127+
128+
**Test 3: Copy ID Link**
129+
- Click "Copy URL based on ID"
130+
- ✅ Toast shows: "Copied to the clipboard"
131+
- Paste in new tab
132+
- ✅ URL format: `/glossary/{uuid}`
133+
- ✅ Page loads correctly
134+
135+
**Test 4: Rename Stability (Core Test) 🔥**
136+
1. Create term "TestTerm"
137+
2. Copy "Copy URL based on ID" → Save as Link A
138+
3. Rename term to "RenamedTerm"
139+
4. Visit Link A
140+
5.**Expected: Link A still works, shows "RenamedTerm"**
141+
142+
**Comparison:**
143+
1. Copy "Copy URL based on FQN" → Save as Link B
144+
2. After rename, visit Link B
145+
3.**Expected: Link B returns 404**
146+
147+
