[AlldoGroup]

Steps to reproduce (*)

1. Magento 2.4.1. and 2.4-develop
2. Setup two ore more store views.
3. Enable URL rewrite.
4. Create two root categories (one for each store view as usual).
5. Add a product.
6. Add the product to another store view (Product in Website).

Expected result (*)

1. Existing Product URL: _example1.com/kilramar/smala/pro-basic_

Additional info from Engcom

Steps to reproduce

1. Created two Sites, Stores, Storeviews.

Each Site has a different Base URL and Base Link URL. Use Web Server Rewrite is set to Yes

Each Store has a different Root Category and Default Store View

1. We have enabled Use Categories Path for Product URLs and Generate "category/product" URL Rewrites under Stores - Configuration - Catalog - Catalog - Search Engine Optimization
   

2. We have created a Simple product and Assigned it to the Category of the Site1
   

The product URL on Storefront is http://mage24.site1.loc/view1/categorya/suba/suba1/simple-product1.html

1. Then, we have assigned the product to another Web site under Product in Web Sites, but copy data not from the default values (also assigned Category)
   

2. Saved the product. Performed reindex and cache clean.

Actual result:
The product URL for the first site has not changed, remained
http://mage24.site1.loc/view1/categorya/suba/suba1/simple-product1.html The URL of the product from the second site is http://mage24.site2.loc/view2/catalog/product/view/id/1/s/simple-product1/category/12/

Hello and thank you for your answer,

That's not how our 2.4.1 behave, we have the exact same settings, except that we have a deeper category structure.
Our product is also marked to the root category itself.

When and where is the URL rewrite generated when you add the simple product to the other store view?

I quote: _"5. Saved the product. Performed reindex and cache clean."_

What kind of reindex did you run?

Thanks,

[engcom-Bravo]

@AlldoGroup

Thank you for your response
_quote: "5. Saved the product. Performed reindex and cache clean."_
We perform full reindex, bin/magento indexer:reindex

Can you please answer, where do you Copy Data from when you assign a Product to another site?

Thank you in advance

Hello,

We copied the product data from another store view. Note that all our products have "default values", and that we did not copied from the default values.

Thanks,

More issues...

When adding a product to a certain store view, it chooses the wrong category, namely the default category name, and not the store view name.

1. Adding a product, and choosing the store view for it:
   

2. The thought category name for the actual store view:
   

3. Magento is choosing the wrong category name (the default category name):
   

4. It should be "storlekar" and not "sizes" for this category.
