We use a workflow module to pass an article from person to person until it gets published. At the moment, we have Drupal running so that even creating a draft article, Drupal will pick a URL for the article. But once we change the title of the article, Drupal will create a redirect from the original URL to the 2nd URL. This can make things messy in the back end in the long run if many articles have their titles changed. Can Drupal be set to update the URL and create a redirect only AFTER the article is finalized / completely published? Kind of like what Wordpress does?

Actually, I noticed this, the other day, on a site I'm working on, too, which also involves a similar workflow scenario. If I find a reasonable solution to this issue, I'll add something here.

See you at the Drupalcon!

Does anyone have a solution for this? Would really love to make Drupal only finalize the URL once the article is fully published.
