Product save does not update URL rewrites for all store views in Magento 2.4.5-p1 if URL Key is preset on store view scope different from the saved one

[kanevbg]

Preconditions and environment

• Verified on Magento 2.4.5-p1 with it's DEMO data

Steps to reproduce

0. Use Magento 2.4.5-p1 with the official DEMO data
1. Navigate to admin panel
2. Open product with ID=2024
3. Add the product to the "DE" website. Check url_rewrite, with proper knowledge on place you will understand that they are correct.
4. Switch the scope to "DE View", set the URL Key "url-key-in-de-store-view", unset the "Create Permanent Redirect for old URL" checkbox (in order to keep the data simpler) and save the product. Again you should understand that the data for that product in url_rewrites table is correct at this time.
5. Now switch back to Global scope for the product, remove the product's categories leaving only the "Default Category" and save the product. Now the url_rewrites table will hold the following data:
   
   If you know the algorithms you will understand that the rows marked with X on the image above should not be existing too as the product at that time is not in these categories anymore.
   If the categories were removed from the "DE View" store view you would not observe the issue as it will not happen.

Expected result

Only two records to exists in the url_rewrite table for "entity_type = "product" and entity_id = 2024" as the product in not in ANY categories, only the root category, so one URL without category should exists per each store view the product is added in.

Actual result

The url_rewrite table hold obsolete URLs which were used for categories the product was previously added in for the store "DE View".

Additional information

No response

Hi @kanevbg,

Thank you for reporting and collaboration.
Verified the issue on Magento 2.4-develop instance and the issue is not reproducible. Kindly refer the screenhsots.

Steps to reproduce :

1.Navigate to admin panel
2.Open product with ID=2092
3.Add the product to the "DE" website. Check url_rewrite, with proper knowledge on place you will understand that they are correct.
4.Switch the scope to "DE View", set the URL Key "url-key-in-de-store-view", unset the "Create Permanent Redirect for old 5.URL" checkbox (in order to keep the data simpler) and save the product. Again you should understand that the data for that product in url_rewrites table is correct at this time.
6.Now switch back to Global scope for the product, remove the product's categories leaving only the "Default Category" and save the product. Now the url_rewrites table will hold the following data:

We are getting only two records in url_rewrite table.

Kindly recheck the behavior on Magento 2.4-develop instance and elaborate steps to reproduce if the issue is still reproducible.

Thanks.

@engcom-Bravo the Magento Instance provided by the bot is not having second website, I'd have to check that later on local instance.

Thanks for quick response @kanevbg

I compared 2.4.5-p1 sources to the 2.4-develop source and identified change in the Magento_CatalogUrlRewrite module which pointed me to that commit: e46f719 (ACP2E-1304)

This is what resolved the issue, so yes, it is fixed in 2.4-develop already.

EDIT: There is still problematic case. When saving product from store view scope and you have added the product to more categories for that save, then if the product were added to other website where the product has url_key for the concrete store view(s) than for these store views the links will not be created! So basically the same problem, but in order to observe it you should save the product from store view scope and have the product at least to 1 other store view with custom url_key for that scope. @engcom-Bravo I guess you can reproduce it with that info, if you are unable to, please let me know.
