Org-roam automatically creates heading id after capturing a new note

Troubleshooting
1

Lets say i am in a node which this content
[cursor] means cursor is there

:properties:
:id: something-random
:end:

* heading 1
[cursor]

Now i use org-roam-node-find to capture note after capturing the note.
When you return back to your note 1 the heading 1 gets an id.
And this is the result after capturing a new note.

:properties:
:id: something-random
:end:

* heading 1
:properties:
:id: new-id-added
:end:

[cursor]

how can i get rid of this behaviour.

I don’t want org-roam to create ids to headlines like this.

Let us clearly understand what exactly you do here.

  1. You have your cursor as you describe
  2. You call M-x org-roam-node-find and type a new title that does not have a file yet
  3. You select a capture template (what is your capture template?) and create a new file
  4. You press C-c C-c to complete the capture. Does this automatically take you back to note 1 where you started from? Or does this take you to the new file you just created?
  5. How do you “go back to note 1”?

If this is (roughly) as you do, Org-roam does not add a new ID to heading 1 as you describe. Mine does not.

Perhaps this is not your procedure. In this case, I suggest you describe yours with more detail and precision so that others can try to reproduce the problem.

You were right i had this code snippet added some where in my config that was causing this behavior

(setq org-id-link-to-org-use-id t)
