Duplicate_of lexicon setting being ignored in 2.8.8?

Support
1

I have the “duplicate_of” lexicon setting for English set to just “[[+name]]” so that duplicating whole folders doesn’t result in all the resources having "Duplicate of " in front of all the page titles. That’s been working fine, up until the 2.8.8 update. Now, this setting seems to be ignored and "Duplicate of " is being prepended to the children of a duplicated resource. If I remember correctly, this was an issue some time in the past and was fixed.

Is anyone else noticing this?

I can’t reproduce this issue.

Here is what I tried (using MODX 2.8.8-pl):

  • Under :gear: → “Lexicons” (Namespace = core, Topic = default, Language = en) I changed duplicate_of to [[+name]].
  • In the resource-tree, I right-clicked on a parent resource (with children) and selected the option “Duplicate”.
  • I entered a “New Resource Name” for the parent and selected “Duplicate Children” → then clicked “Save”.
  • The child resources of this new parent resource all have the original pagetitle (without "Duplicate of ").

That’s exactly what I have set up.

I just tried again in this site, and it worked fine. No idea why it didn’t work yesterday, and it tried it several times, although on the same folder. Maybe something about the files in that folder caused an issue? If duplicating a file in a folder would result in a resource with the same uri as an existing resource, could that make the lexicon setting fail?

I don’t think so.
Also, if use_alias_path is set to Yes, then the URI of the children should be unique (as the parent-alias is part of the URI).
