Issue
- When creating or updating a page, if a user enters a friendly URL that is already in use by another page, the system displays a generic error message: "The friendly URL is already in use."
- This error message does not provide any information about which page or entity is currently using that friendly URL, making it difficult for administrators to locate and resolve the conflict, especially on sites with a large number of pages.
Resolution
- This is a known limitation of the product. An enhancement request has been created to improve the error message by providing details about where the friendly URL is being used.
- You can track the progress of this feature request at the following link: LPD-62437.
- Please note that the implementation of this feature is at the discretion of our Product Team. For the latest updates, please monitor the ticket.
