Meta OG:Description and Meta Desccription combine together [#1867876]

Hello.

Now we have:

<meta name="description" content="My meta description copy." />
<meta property="og:description" content="My meta description copy." />

However I know it works like that:
<meta name="description" property="og:description" content="My meta description copy." />

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to combine these into one Meta string in this Metatag module.

Any help would be really appreciated.

This would be a feature request, and an interesting one too!

Ok, since I couldn't wait anymore longer, I 'fixed' it by my own solution:

function THEME_html_head_alter(&$head_elements) 
{
	$meta_desc = $head_elements['metatag_og:description']['#value'];
	unset($head_elements['metatag_description']);
	unset($head_elements['metatag_og:description']);
	
	$head_elements[] = array(
			'#type' => 'html_tag',
			'#tag' => 'meta',
			'#attributes' => array(
				'name' => 'description',
				'property' => 'og:description',
				'content' => $meta_desc
			)
		);
}

Hi.

I also thought that this might be a good feature. However, I am not sure whether it is really needed. The reason is that websites (such as FaceBook) use this tag if they need og:description and cannot find it. Here is where I got the info from.

I saw the stack overflow link too and came here to see if this had been discussed. I am wondering if there are any disadvantages of combining the two.
