While working with some webforms on my site I found that when I went into the Form Settings and saving (sometimes not even changing any values) the automatic URL alias button would be checked and the previous URL would be changed to a URL redirect. I have the Webform AJAX module enabled as well. Can anyone who does not have the Webform AJAX module confirm if this a Webform only issue?

Thanks,
Aris

Yes, I've been seeing this recently as well. Rather annoying. I haven't tried debugging it yet, but I can confirm that it's not webform_ajax (or at least, I don't use that module).

Edit: I'm seeing this on 7.x-4.0-beta1.

Same here. I've the following modules installed.

Webform 7.x-3.19
Webform Confirm Email 7.x-1.2
Webform Features 7.x-3.0-beta2
Webform Rules 7.x-1.6
Webform Term Options 7.x-1.1

This does seem to be a pathauto problem. In my case I believe it had been a problem for a while, and we simply hadn't noticed it until we did some webform editing because we were using default pathauto alias patterns everywhere else..

The "state" patch in this comment resolved the issue for me: https://drupal.org/node/936222#comment-7395866

if the RTBC patch at #936222-30: Merge in pathauto_persist module functionality to prevent losing manual aliases with node_save() calls solves this problem this issue can be marked as a duplicate.

klonos: I see now that you've added this issue as a "related issue" of 936222 which is consequently linked in the sidebar of this issue; but that wasn't at all obvious just from looking at #6 (which looked like you were simply removing useful data).

You might want to leave a quick comment explaining what you're doing in future?

@jweowu: I'm sorry. You are absolutely right - I'll try to remember to do that in the future. I wish that we could somehow have it so that when referring to an issue (either as parent/child or related) there would be two nodechange messages created (one for each issue). That would make things clearer.

#2132229: Provide a "Duplicate of:" / "Duplicate issues:" two-way relation for issues.
#2130889: Allow adding child/follow-up issues directly from the parent issue and converting related issues to children.
