Expected Behavior

On this page https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/resources/access_context_manager_service_perimeter#nested_egress_from

From egress_policies > egress_from > sources, if you click 'sources' or its structure hyperlink it directs to ingress_from sources which is slighly different from egress_from sources. This hyperlink should be fixed.

Hi @anilkumarmyla

It looks like it's fixed, please try again. If you continue having issues, do basic troubleshooting like restarting your browser, try with another browser, change your screen-browser-configurattion, clean cache, cookies, etc.

Nope, is there a commit that can be referenced for this fix?

Come on now, this is not a browser issue

Following up with a look at the code, this is a systemic issue that has been present for a long time (since GoogleCloudPlatform/magic-modules#5192). For another example, see the encryption_config link under https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/resources/alloydb_cluster#nested_continuous_backup_config.

Basically, our logic for generated docs does not consider the parent of the field, so when there are duplicate field names anywhere within the schema, this can occur.

An ideal solution would probably include the parent field(s) in the anchor, but I think that solution would break existing links that are being used. To preserve current links while fixing the issue, we may need to somehow modify the anchors used by all but the first occurrence (eg. nested_source, nested_sources2, etc.).
