HTML Anchor tag auto populating for headings

    Hello, in all of my WordPress apps, the HTML Anchor text field auto populates when I add a heading in the Gutenberg editor. This injects unnecessary id attributes to all headings in the HTML output for the post/page.

    Is this normal behavior?
    Is this an option I can disable?

    If so, how can I retroactively remove all the auto populated id attributes? I would say 50+ posts.

    This is not default behaviour of WordPress/Gutenberg. I’d guess one of your plugins is adding this.

    Thanks for making that suggestion. Yoast SEO plugin is the culprit.
