Yes

Issue

This issue was reported by someone else 5 years ago but was closed without a fix due to a "staleness" bot https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/6583

5 years later is still exhibits in the latest release, so I wanted to re-open to ask if there's a fix planned or if this is intended behaviour.

To be clear, I can get the desired behaviour by creating both an index.md and an empty dummy _index.md but I see this warning:

WARN  Content directory "<snip>/content/contact-us" have both index.* and _index.* files, pick one.

To be clear, the desired site structure here is to have:

<baseUrl>/contact-us/ --> Main contact page for general enquiries
<baseUrl>/contact-us/topic/ --> Separate contact form for specific enquiries

(and similar structure for other sections on the site)

You cannot have both index.md and _index.md in the same directory. You would be telling Hugo, "Hey, this directory is a leaf bundle, and a branch bundle," and those two are mutually exclusive.

I'm sorry if I've been unclear here; the intent is definitively to have a branch bundle and NOT a leaf bundle. The bug being reported here is that both files are required to make this work (whereas as you've pointed out index.md is intended for leaf bundles only).

I haven't asked for any questions nor am I troubleshooting any problems: my setup functions fine with both files in place (branch bundle only). It's exhibiting a warning message that's already been documented in 2019 as a bug with Hugo (that ticket was closed by an automated bot, not by any maintainers for any stated reason).

No, they are not.

Please create a topic on the forum to ask "How do I do xxx", and someone will be happy to help you. Thanks.
