URL issue when updating dynamic pages slug linked field

[Qu4dri]

When creating a new item in a database connected with dynamic pages, the dynamic page url inherits correctly the value from the linked dataset field.

The problem arises when I update the linked slug field with a new value. The dynamic page url does not update as well.

I believe in the past the url updated automatically, but it seems to not be anymore the case.

Is there a solution to let Wix automatically update the url? Should I do it manually when I update the linked field?

Thanks in advance for any help.

This is the result of a (kinda stupid) new change by Wix that now keeps the slug static… which completely kills the whole point of 'dynamic’.

While this might be good for SEO purposes, it does not fit all use cases, especially ones where the links need to be changed dynamically based on the content in the CMS.

I personally am not a big fan of this update either, and I believe @noahlovell has taken up this issue with the Wix team already. It would be nice to have a boolean atleast, which could be toggled to enable / disable slugs updating dynamically, however until that happens, the only possible workaround available for this right now is to configure a data hook using Velo code.

Thank you Pratham for the clarification.

I agree that if a field is linked to another, I would expect it to change dynamically as well.

Anyway thank you for guiding me towards the data hooks. I did not know they existed. Your suggestion actually solved my problem.
