Wrong component name assignment in joint?

I am trying to make a revolute join between two bodies whose names are "body2" and "base_link". The problem is that when I try to select a point of "base_link" as the origin of the union for Component2 the name of the associated component is not "base_link" but the name of the project which is "Robot".
Is this the expected behavior? How can I make it assign the correct component name?

 

Thanks in advance.

Please attach your model, it is hard to guess from a picture.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a forum post to attach it.

When you added the sketch, containing the point you wanted to use in the Joint, you failed to activate the component you where adding the sketch.  The sketch ended up in the top level giving you the issue.  The Screencast will show a fix but it is always best to activate the component you want the sketch to be a part of.
