title_format and route conflict?

[binoclard]

Hi,

I am confronted to a big problem, and I have no idea if it is some kind of bug, or if I am doing something very wrong.

I need to have the Titles of a whole bunch of Collections Entries to be generated automatically (to ensure consistency between dozens of users/editors).

My Collection file looks like this:

title: 'Atelier AI'
template: atelier/show
layout: layout
mount: 56fe3fe0-8ac6-42d9-b468-250bbae6c5e2
title_format: '{eleve:title}'
route: '/{mount}/{slug}'

The {eleve:title} I use in the title_format is a Relationship Field, pulling data from another Collection.

I have 12 Collections, sharing somewhat the same principles. I created some from the CP, some others directly in the files, copying-pasting, etc. Yesterday I noticed that for some of the Collections, when I wanted to create a new Entry via the CP, the progress bar on the screen would go veeeeeery slow, and my computer began to suffocate, to the point where I had to go and kill some php-fpm process through the activity monitor.

So this morning I am investigating the problem, and I notice that the working Collections did not have the route set up…
If I delete either the route, or the title_format, the Entry saves fine. As soon as I put the two variables, it strangles my computer.

It is worth noting that everything works super fine for already existing Entries, or if I create Entries manually directly in the files.

Any ideas would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

One thing that bugs me a bit: I was afraid it was the Entry Field relationship thing that causes this, but am seeing the same kind of usage in the title_format doc:
https://statamic.dev/collections#titles

title_format:
  en: '{stars} star rating by {author:name}'
  fr: '{stars} étoiles par {author:name}'
``

I started from scratch a new site, and even in its most minimal configuration, with a single Collection, as soon as I set it up with a title_format: {whatever} AND a route: {something/{slug} , the Entry does not save, and I have to put my computer on life support…
title_format without a route works great.

Could somebody try to replicate it?

• create a new local site
• set up a Collection with a title_format and a route
• create a new Entry

I am really curious if it is a bug, or something sketchy on my side.
Thanks 😘

Reading both these Issues #6071 and #5757 made me rethink the necessity of having a slug, so I turned the slug generation off, deleted the slug Field, and it seems to work so far.

slugs: false
title_format: '{eleve:title}'
route: '/{mount}/{semestre}/{title}-{id}'

It is a bit annoying to have the Entry save with its Id as file name… but at least I have a working project. I'll have to run more intensive testing, and I hope it will not come and bite me later 🤞🏼

So, FWIW, per my observations:
slug + "normal" user generated title + route: ✅
slug + title_format + route: ❌
title_format + route, without slug: ✅
slug + title_format, without route: ✅
