I added a boolean field to a content type and used Views Bulk Operations module to set boolean on certain nodes. For every node that was updated to set this checkbox, its custom URL was reverted back to the default pattern set by Pathauto. I assume this is not supposed to happen.

Turns out my issue was related to URL aliases path settings.

Under /admin/config/search/path/settings (Config > Search and Metadata > URL aliases > Settings), the "Update action" for the site I've been working on was set to "Create a new alias. Delete the old alias.".

Therefore, whenever choosing an action with VBO that involved a saved update of the node(s), the custom URL alias for the node(s) was updated with the default pattern - in my case, the Title of the node(s).

Essentially, VBO was working correctly, per my settings.

Hope that helps.

Yes - thank you! My URL aliases path settings are set to create new/delete as well. Makes sense.
