 * Hello,
 * when I press the “Edit Link” button the shown popup doesn’t load the existing
   data and resets all fields.
 * Any ideas how to solve this problem?

 * 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;
               });
       ```
