Hi all,

we noticed a change in the creation of SP Pages with a custom template.

We have a template e.g. “Custom News”. In the past the page with the template was created and the title was empty (Add title).

Now the title is already prefilled with “Custom News”. This also leads to issues while creating news. 

The user adds directly some text -> Draft auto saved -> URL generated

This results in news like:

“Custom News (1).aspx”

“Custom News (2).aspx”

…

Is this really by design? Is it a bug? Can we avoid that behaviour? Clearing the Title in the template is not an option and is also not working.
