Hi All,
During these days,
I am working on a project where we are using Unicorn to sync the Sitecore
items. But I faced weird behavior during the update of items. A few items come
as a path, but a few are stored under the parent ID folder in the file system.
Like below:
Ex. highlighted items in the image All come under "GetSupport Form Labels" but as mentioned, two items come under the same parent item in the file system, and the other is stored under the parent item ID folder, even though that is the item ID for the "GetSupport Form Labels" folder.
So I decided to find out the exact configuration for the same, or if that is the issue, then try to resolve it. During my analysis, I found the below Sitecore stack exchange link very useful.
The above article explains that "there is nothing wrong with our setup. Due to the long file system path, Unicorn decided to keep IDs instead of full paths.
Later, I analyzed this more and found the following very interesting and fruitful, which explain this issue in depth.
