Use simpler names for date related detail chips in the item list of the new UI. “System creation/edit date“ refers to the dates set by the CMS (not explicitly changeable by the user through the page properties). “Creation/Edit date” refers to the custom creation/edit dates with the system dates used as a fallback if no custom dates are set.

- duplicate value within current folder allowed
- character slash allowed
- prefilled with parent directory if set
2. if current node has feature ‘pub_dir_segment‘ TRUE and if content repository type NOT Mesh
- duplicate value within current folder disallowed
- character slash disallowed
- prefilled with parent directory if set
3. if current node has feature ‘pub_dir_segment‘ TRUE and if content repository type IS Mesh
- duplicate value within current folder disallowed
- character slash disallowed
- not prefilled with parent directory if set

When a new page was created, special characters in the automatically generated filename were automatically replaced by the configured standard sanitize replacement character. The default is “-“. If there were multiple special characters to be replaced this could lead to multiple replacement characters in the filename.
Example filename:
- original: “Infos [Important].pdf“
- sanitized: “Infos — Important-.pdf“
This has been enhanced so that multiple special characters will only be replaced by one replacement character:
- new sanitized: “Infos-Important-.pdf”
Replacement of all characters can be configured as explained in the sanitizing file names feature documentation
