Updating CMS page via api should NOT remove related URL rewrites

[SzabKel]

Preconditions (*)

1. Magento ver. 2.3.3 (I tested this on two different environments, one is our hosted magento solution, other one is a bitnami virtual machine. )
2. Setup an integration for the rest api, allow CMS actions

Steps to reproduce (*)

1. Add a new CMS Page, magento will automatically add a rewrite for each language (according to your URL-Key / Identifier field)
   
2. Manually add a rewrite from any URL pointing to the CMS Page
   
3. Run a request using the rest api and update the CMS Page's content:

curl --location --request PUT 'http://.../rest/V1/cmsPage/7' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ****' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
	"page": {
		"id": 7,
		"title": "test",
		"identifier": "test",
		"content": "content updated"
	}
}'

The title field is required. I also tried to update without the identifier field specified in the request, but I get the same result.

Expected result (*)

The previously added rewrite should be still active. Maybe if the identifier is changed, the rewrites should be updated.

Actual result (*)

The rewrites are deleted and a new rewrite is added for the CMS page. This is easy to see, because every time I do an update, the default rewrite's id is incremented.

Update (and workaround):

Magento only deletes the URL Rewrite, if it is added using the "For CMS Page" menu. If I manually add a rewrite and I type in the target as "cms/page/view/page_id/<page_id>", the rewrite won't be deleted!

Hi @SzabKel I'm not able to reproduce issue by steps you described on clean 2.4-develop
Manual testing scenario:

1. Create additional store view:
   
2. Create CMS page
3. Add a rewrite to the CMS Page for additional store view
   
4. Run PUT /V1/cmsPage/{id}:
   

Result:
✔️ Previously added rewrite are not changed and still active

Please feel free to comment, reopen or create new ticket according to the Issue reporting guidelines
if you are still facing this issue on the latest 2.4-develop branch. Thank you for collaboration.

@engcom-Delta It only deletes the rewrites, if the use the "For CMS page" menu when you add the rewrites.
It is also possible this already got solved since I reported it.
