Default
LINK, HYPERLINK, INCLUDETEXT, INCLUDEPICTURE & RD field paths will not update the way you imply. The paths are always absolute.

Kindly read the Word Fields and Relative Paths to External Files 'Sticky' thread at the top of this forum for instructions on the correct way to implement relative paths - which in any case cannot be done for LINK fields.
