Bug report

Strapi collections showing Modified while generating on bulk generating URLs

When using the Bulk generate feature with the “Re-generate all URL aliases” option enabled, all related entries are marked as Modified, even though no actual content changes have occurred.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Go to https://strapi-author.com/admin/plugins/webtools or click Webtools from the Strapi admin sidebar
2. Open the All URLs menu
3. Click the Bulk generate button
4. Select one or more collections
5. Enable the “Re-generate all URL aliases” option
6. Click Submit (or Bulk generate)
7. Navigate back to the collection(s) that were just generated

Expected behavior

When generating bulk url form sitemap, it does not impact the existing collections, changes the database label, and also not change the content modification date, if posible make additonal date field that only manages the sitemap information.

Any query @boazpoolman or any other in this team?

Hi @sayedbs,

The repo you have submitted this issue on is the old Strapi v4 sitemap plugin. That is why it went unnoticed for so long. My apologies for that. I have now recreated the issue on the webtools repository. You can find it here pluginpal/strapi-webtools#397

Closing this issue.
