Redirect not created when renaming a published node in Umbraco 13.11.0-rc

[jason-delaplain]

Which Umbraco version are you using?

13.11.0-rc

Bug summary

Changing a published node's name does not automatically create a redirect to new named page. I tested this and it resulted in a 404, as well as an entry doesn't create in the Redirect URL Management section in Umbraco 13.11.0-rc.

Specifics

When changing the name of a published content node in Umbraco 13.11.0-rc, the expected behavior is that a redirect from the old URL to the new one is automatically created and visible in the Redirect URL Management section. However, this does not occur.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create and publish a content node (e.g., /test-page).
2. Rename the node (e.g., to /renamed-page) and republish.
3. Attempt to access the old URL (/test-page).
4. Check the Redirect URL Management dashboard.

Expected result / actual result

Expected result:

A 301 redirect should be created from /test-page to /renamed-page.
The redirect should appear in the Redirect URL Management section.

Actual result:

Visiting the old URL results in a 404.
No redirect entry is created in the Redirect URL Management section.

Hi there @jason-delaplain!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

I'm not able to replicate this I'm afraid. I'll replay my steps in case you can spot any difference that triggers the issue in your case:

• New install:

dotnet new install Umbraco.Templates::13.11.0
dotnet new umbraco --name TestProject13
cd .\TestProject13\
dotnet run

• Create a document type with template, allowed at root and allowed under self
• Created this structure:

• Rename "Test Page" to "Test Page 2"
• See the expected redirect record created:

I'll close this, but if you do see I've missed something in testing that does allow to replicate the problem, please advise and re-open the issue.

OK, I'll switch to either 13.11.0 or above. Thanks for testing.
