Changing a property name also changes the alias even when the alias is locked

[philipdanielhayton]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

14.0.0

Bug summary

I needed to change the label text of a property and noticed that it automatically changed the alias, even though the alias icon shows that it's locked.

Specifics

No response

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new doc type
2. Add a property, give it any name you like
3. Save the doc type
4. Navigate away, navigate back
5. Change the name of the field, the alias will also update, even though it's locked

Expected result / actual result

The alias should not change when it's in a locked state. It's easy to miss this and it will break things when the models are re-created if not spotted and caught.

Hi there @philipdanielhayton!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

I can no longer replicate this - believe it was fixed in umbraco/Umbraco.CMS.Backoffice#2092 so I'll mark that as the release label (can see also on our internal tracker the work item has been marked as done). // @leekelleher
