Wait to set URL slug of copied sermon until first save

planned

So the recent update to make better looking URL slugs is great, however, I always set up my weekly sermons by copying the previous week sermons and so now what this means is all my slugs are basically one week delayed titles plus the word copy.

It would be great if the creation of the slug didn't happen until after I have filled out all the new information and clicked save. That way it is based on that weeks actual title.

Before it would have been a generic id and you would have had to click in and set the slug. Now it's this and you have to click in and set the slug because it's been duplicated. So basically the process is exactly the same currently right?

Paul Cox Probably, but not sure. I never used to bother with updating the URL slugs. So for me this is worse. A random URL looks like that's just how the system works. But now, this looks like an error, as it's human readable, but wrong. So now I feel obligated to update it.

It's not the biggest deal, but it's just one more thing to add to the procedure for our volunteer to do, so I'd rather keep the process as simple as posible for them.

I would love this too--or, as Wordpress does, an update to the slug after tapping the link slug name on the Edit page instead of having to type it out. Sometimes I am awaiting the title from my pastor and I really don't want it to stay as TBD.
