Description This bug report is linked to bug: https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/31007 but is not the same issue.

It is easy to respond and say that Magento core has a frontName value of shipping and therefore, you cannot use ever the url key shipping.

In a rebuttal to such a general statement, shipping is one of the most popular and widely used urls. It is a url used by companies to explain shipping polciies. Several major websites worldwide use this url, and Magento is saying, you cannot use it.

This new validator did not exist in previous versions of Magento 2. In our case we have had since 2008 a url for /shipping. Now Magento decides to not allow it, that doesn't work. We are forced to override "woraround" the validator to update content to a page that cannot just be changed because Magento needs it.

Hello @aliomattux,

Thanks for posting the issue!

We have tried to reproduce the issue in the fresh installed Magento 2.4-develop branch. But for us, the issue is not reproducible. We are able to save the CMS block successfully. Please have a look at the below screenshot for reference:

Let us know if we have missed anything.

Thanks

In my case I have to problem when I create a CMS page with URL key "newsletter". If I change the URL key to newsletter1 it works fine.

Hello @aliomattux i've try to reproduce issue in magento 2.4.3-p1. If you have cms page with url key like "shipping, cart, checkout" you will not be able to save it after migration because the validator of url key will find that there is frontend route "shipping, cart, checkout" defined from modules. if you want to remove this validator then remove line from

@pranav7870 Will this fix also fix the problem for ANY url key, not just "shipping, cart, checkout"? @engcom-November verified this as a bug further upthread. This happens when any CMS Page's url key matches another. (e.g "home", "distributors", "XYZ", etc.

Hello @chardwick99 i've fix this for all urls please check with my code, please check and let me know. Thanks

[aliomattux]

@pranav7870 I already know about the proposed "fix". This fix requires me to modify the core code. I reported this as a bug because of the industry standard use of the url key "shipping". As stated in my initial post, many popular ecommerce websites use the url. Additionally, Magento 2 has been operational for years and many ecommerce stores already make use of the url key shipping. Creating the requirement for customers to change the url IMO is a bug introduced. I do not expect it to be changed, but it should be. Therefore, I reject the proposal customers should have to modify their installation to bypass the issue.

[bartoszkubicki]

I have the same issue with route "klarna". After longer consideration that mechanism is not entirely bad, but should more accurate, for example these routes reserved by modules, are not fully occupied, for example 'klarna/index/index' is up for grabs.

[plastikschnitzer]

If certain page identifiers should be "reserved", their error message should be adapted and not direct in a direction of page identifier duplicates – which is also correct in some way but it won't help you finding the duplicate in your cms pages.

[LaurensFranken]

Getting the same issue but with url_key contact. Magento version 2.4.5-p2. There are no other CMS pages with the same url key, nor are there any redirects setup for that particular key. The option Add Store Code to Urls is configured to "No". This used to work in the previous version (Magento 2.3.5-p2).

[kpitn]

This error is not due to specicif key reserved.

To reproduce the bug you can do :

ex : you create a /faq page with all store
=> Magento generate all url_rewrite with all store

you want to create a page for /faq for a specific store
=> You have this error : "The value specified in the URL Key field would generate a URL that already exists."

Here is the patch to fix the bug :
