So ever since pathauto_persist was merged in 1.3 if you want to bulk update nodes that have the "Auto URL Alias" unchecked it won't work. Would be good if either that checkbox could be exposed to VBO for bulk re-enabling/disabling auto urls, OR temporarily suspending the verification of that checkbox when doing a bulk update.

Thank you, this is still the same in Drupal 8 and would be super helpful, if that status could be changed in bulk! :)

Looks like there is a force option in PathautoGenerator that just needs to be enabled.

// Skip if pathauto processing is disabled.
if ($entity->path->pathauto != PathautoState::CREATE && empty($options['force'])) {
   return NULL;
}

Thanks @mably so the task here is to add the UI for the force option.
