Automatic slug creation from a title

[Ratko-Solaja]

Bug description

When you install Statamic but use a DB driver. When creating new entries or new taxonomies (anywhere you need a slug that will get generated automatically) it doesn't work.

The problem is that you need to define a locale in Site Settings and only afterwards it will work. If not, axios returns an error in which it clearly says that the language can't be empty.

How to reproduce

• Start new Statamic installation.
• Select any DB driver (I tried SQLite and MySQL).
• Select to import everything.
• When done, go to Collections -> Pages -> New Entry and type in the title. Slug field won't be populated.

I got the same problem in a similar environment after doing the latest statamic update.

Is there a JS error?

Confirmed, thanks.

Easy workaround though:

• Click "Site" in the sidebar
• Enter "en" (or your appropriate language) into the Language field.
• Save

The issue is that the site that gets imported into the sites table has an empty lang value.
