The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Problem/Motivation
On the url alias admin UI (/admin/config/search/path) it displays the system path in the anchor text, but then the link itself is to the alias. This creates two issues:
- The two adjacent columns claim to be two different thngs and show different anchor text but are in fact identical link urls.
- It makes it difficult to see if following the system path actually takes you to the alias (harder to detect if there is some other alias or redirect at play. (makes debugging more difficult)
Steps to reproduce
Proposed resolution
This was originally presented as a solution as part of #3351638: Remove truncation of path alias but was split into the separate issue here.
The href for the system path is not actually a system path, but an alias. It should be replaced with the actual system path as the link so that it matches the link text.
Remaining tasks
User interface changes

swirtThis change was presented at the #3350284: Drupal Usability Meeting 2023-04-07 UX review call when it was part of #3351638: Remove truncation of path alias I am not certain if it needs to go through that process again or not.

smustgrave commentedCan we add a simple assertion somewhere that the paths equal.
Comment #10
swirtGood suggestion. I am a bit swamped at the moment. I can circle back to this in a few weeks, or if anyone else has capacity before I get to it, they can add the testing.
