Autoroute Path not being correctly generated when ContentItem is created via code.

[XpandIT-RFID]

Hi, I have the following code in my project:

var contentItem = await _contentManager.NewAsync("Testimony");
contentItem.Content.TitlePart.Title = "Test"
await _contentManager.CreateAsync(contentItem, VersionOptions.Draft);
await _contentManager.UpdateAsync(contentItem);

*simplified version of the code 👍

The AutoroutePart for this "Testimony" Content is defined like this:

But when I create this content item via code, the permalink comes as "testimonials/-1" instead of "testimonials/Test".

Can anyone help me with this? I have been looking at the AutoroutePart Module but I only got more confused XD.

You need to use contentItem.DisplayText = "Test" else you could try to change your Liquid to use {{ ContentItem.Content.TitlePart.Title | slugify }}

DisplayText sets it's value from the TitlePart.Title from a handler and it seems that the value is not affected on the ContentItem yet when it gets parsed by this Liquid template. There is probably a small issue there but it should work by doing what I described above.

I was doing ContentItem.Content.DisplayText instead of ContentItem.DisplayText on my code for some weird reason... I didn't even put it in the sample above because of it being generated in the handlers, but yeah, there is that issue you mentioned 👍🏼

Thanks for the help again @Skrypt 🥇
