Bulk update with first option create don't work on content with pattern

I was having this issue and your patch fixed it for me. Thanks! The nodes in qusetion were originally imported from Salesforce so many that has something to do with it.

I also checked how I could enable this "force" option. I seem to remember it in D7 but I'm not seeing it implemented in D9. There are some references to it in the code, including what you saw, but nowhere where it actually sends the option.

I think that "force" option is the check-bos that appears in alias section of node edition... But it needs investigation.

If so, this can't be manually forced in bulk update so the option should be true as default value, or not checked in bulk update, or as parameter...

And how to manage with $entity->path->pathauto value ?

In my website example, there was no imported node.

I found `pathauto_state.[entity_type_id]` in the key_value table, with the `name == entity_id` and the `value as 0|1`. Deleting the rows for the entity you want to bulk generate (in my case media) allowed it to work as expected. There should be an option to clear these in the UI, the 'Regenerate URL aliases for all paths' does not do this

Looking in `pathauto/src/PathautoState.php` in `bulkDelete` this will "Only delete aliases that were created by this module."

This patch doesn't work any more on 1.13.0

Please review patch.

I tried to replicate the issue with Drupal 11 and Pathauto 1.13, but didn't manage with steps from the issue summary. I also tried to switch steps 7 and 8, but no difference.
The steps didn't mention the language to use on steps 8, 9, 13 and 14, but I assumed it to be the default language (English).
I'd recommend checking the path alias (steps 13/14) from route /admin/config/search/path
