Hi, AFAIK that’s a known shortcoming of hugo. We ended up using a custom toc builder as a workaround.  
Search the forums for possible solutions, for example see this thread: [Create a custom page TOC ("mini TOC") with Javascript](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/create-a-custom-page-toc-mini-toc-with-javascript/16665)  
(There is another thread with a solution that does not use javascript, but can’t find it at the moment.)
