    Hi,

    One of the things that I have to be aware of and hyper vigilant about so that I don't screw up the URL structure is when I want to rename the Singular Name of a Custom Post Type or Custom Taxonomy to something else down the road, and suddenly when I do, the SLUG changes to match it completely.

    Then I have to remember to copy/paste the slug that it was previously to make sure it doesn't screw up the SEO, and overall it's a friction'd process that is dangerous should I forget about / or not notice the change and something goes wrong.

    I tend to use the "Custom Rewrite Slug" option under Advanced often, and the primary slug is used when I'm accessing or creating relationships with other plugins such as Bricks Forge or WS Form, or in MB Views, so the slug needs to be organized in a specific way to be easily recalled.

    My question is, there a way to add a "lock" icon next to the slug, so that we have the option to keep the slug the same when changing the Singular Name, or when "unlocked", it can sync to the Singular Name?

    If not, can this be a Feature Request?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    It can be a feature request. I will share your feedback with the development team so they can consider supporting this option in future updates.

    Thank you.
