For what it’s worth, you can edit the JS for this field, changing:
jQuery('body').on('click', '.link-btn', function(event)
{
var thisID = jQuery(this).attr("id");
doingLink = thisID;
wpActiveEditor = true; // we need to override this var as the link dialogue is expecting an actual wp_editor instance
//console.log(wpLink);
wpLink.open(); // open the link popup
return false;
});
To:
jQuery('body').on('click', '.link-btn', function (event)
{
var thisID = jQuery(this).attr("id");
doingLink = thisID;
wpActiveEditor = true; // we need to override this var as the link dialogue is expecting an actual wp_editor instance
wpLink.setDefaultValues = function () {
$('#url-field').val($('#' + doingLink + '-url').val());
$('#link-title-field').val($('#' + doingLink + '-title').val());
};
wpLink.open(); // open the link popup
return false;
});
