 ## Unreleased
 
 - Fixed a bug where asset, category, and entry sources defined by the `EVENT_REGISTER_SOURCES` event didn’t have any custom fields available to them, unless the `EVENT_REGISTER_FIELD_LAYOUTS` event was also used to define the available field layouts for the event-defined source. ([#16256](https://github.com/craftcms/cms/discussions/16256))
+- Fixed a bug where Link fields were getting `string` types in `CustomFieldBehavior` rather than `craft\fields\data\LinkData`.
