When I use a URL path alias pattern like this one: [node:field_my_category:entity:name]
... I would expect the name field of the taxonomy term (my_category) to be used. But instead the label() method of that entity seems to be used.
I think that, because in our project we have updated the label() method for taxonomy terms. It does not return the name field anymore. Instead it is producing another string representation of the taxonomy term (based on a custom field). And in that scenario the name field is ignored and our custom field is used in the URL alias.
This behaviour was different in the past. I think with Drupal 9, the actual name field was used.
The issue seems to be related to a problem that I described in this ticket: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3223302 →
name token part of the taxonomy term entity.label() method instead of the name.
I would suggest to...
entity:name is returning the content of the name field of the entity, like it was in Drupal 9. There could be another keyword like entity:label that is using the label() method.name field, like entity:field_nameIf the latter already exists, then I must have missed it. I browsed the available tokens in the backend, but I did not find any way to get the name field of a taxonomy term.
