On one of our systems we have the Remap Manager remapping option switched off for:
In _admin that can be seen as set to off and when urls are changed there’s no remap automatically created.
In _edit, it’s set to yes, and I suspect is why we’ve had remaps automatically created.
This seems like a bug, unless there’s an Edit+ preference I haven’t been able to find?
In Edit+ there should be a toggle for when you change the web path on the URLs screen to create a remap or not.
But depends on what version of Matrix you are on?
Or is this when you move an asset using the Linking screen in Edit+?
The toggle is there, but by default it appears to be set to yes, when the system preference (e.g. remap manager option) is set to no.
Just tested it in the latest version and can confirm it doesn’t matter what the system preference is. We could potentially look at adding a preference for edit+ specifically to enable the remap or not, or for it to just follow the system preference, but that might not always be what’s desire-able. Separate Edit+ preference is probably the way to go.
In the meantime you could easily write a small JS plugin to always switch it off by default.
Thanks Bart for testing that -

will look into that. Do you know of the thinking behind why Edit+ only shows the current urls? I can think of reasons, but we’re working increasingly with editors using Edit+ and not going near _admin so won’t be aware of the remaps.
Do you mean why don’t we show the current remaps applied to the asset in Edit+ as well, like we do in Admin?
If that’s the case, then not sure. The screen was built before my time but I can’t see a valid reason for not showing the remaps in Edit+ as well, wouldn’t be too much effort either to add it as a feature if you want to squizmap it?
