Update Gutenberg's permalink store when selecting a primary term. #651

Open sybrew opened 1 year ago

sybrew commented 1 year ago

When selecting a Primary Term in Gutenberg / Block Editor, the permalinks in Gutenberg's interface are only updated after we save and refresh the page.

We should do this dynamically by updating Gutenberg's data store.

In 2fb928b32b163704699248bc1fb0ad5a617aacc8, I fixed the canonical URL prediction about this.

From this experience, I'm convinced we should not affect Gutenberg's canonical URL like this. It's a lot more involved than I first thought. Gutenberg's URL prediction listens only to post slug and category changes -- it does not respond to anything else, such as the date, post ancestors, etc. We can assume that it's broken.

Still, when saving the post, Gutenberg updates the canonical URL but does not appear to respond to the primary term selection. A second save resolves that.

We may want to see if we can save our metadata before Gutenberg fetches new stuff. I'm punting that to a future release, for we're out of time for WP 6.7.
