[current-page:title] creates alias of admin title rather than content title on initial node save

Starting to work on the issue.

It's doing exactly what it says. It uses the title of the current *page*. Page in this has nothing to do with nodes, it's just about the current request. In pathauto pattern, *always* use entity patterns, not something else.

@charles belov I went through the steps and I am able to reproduce the issue. But it is working correctly. I will try to explain.

[current-page:title] token gives you the title of current page. And the title of node add form is Create Basic Page and therefore the pathauto is creating the alias as /create-basic-page.

The method that you are stating as workaround is actually the correct way of creating alias using the node title.

For more clarity refer this code https://git.drupalcode.org/project/token/-/blob/8.x-1.x/token.tokens.inc...

Marking this issue as works as designed and unassigning myself.

Thanks
