Yes - the slugs feature is only designed to work with the normal Bubble URL structure, which is /page-name/thing. Your observations about the different cases is what I would’ve expected. Bubble doesn’t have a native feature supporting the kinds of complex URL structures you’ve built (yet) - so that’s all custom on your side.
Thanks for the tip about the privacy rule! We’ll add that to the documentation.
Is there anyway to have this as a toggle or something? So those that have complex structures like aforementioned can keep them without having to worry.
This is awesome @zoe @emmanuel and the rest of the team! 
I take back the few complaints I have about bubble 
Dynamic Slugs were actually #2 on my list of future feature requests!
Documentation now updated with information on slugs and privacy rules! Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.
Use the ‘Open External page’ instead of an internal page.
Then you can dynamically build the url you want.
Example; You can have a thing called ‘Product’ and a thing called ‘Category’ which both have a slug and where the category is linked to the product.
Now you’re external url can be something like <Website home URL> <page-name>/<parent group's product category slug>/<parent group's product slug>/parent groups product UID
That’s great. Thanks!
Thanks for this feature. I have a related question - is there a way to ‘hide’ the https://s3.amazonaws.com/appforest_uf/f159… URL when opening an attached file using ‘open an external website’ action? The URL confuses users.
At this time, you’d have to use a URL router plugin like Sudsy Page for nested hierarchies or more advanced functionality.
I wouldn’t suggest using this if you’re using mobile versions of a page, basically these slugs don’t work.
Awesome feature ! I am looking to enter the slug with an input / workflow.
Is it possible @allenyang ?
No, it’s not. You have to use a special “Set a thing’s slug” action.
@stephane-- Reference the following documentation.
https://manual.bubble.io/structuring-an-application/page-slugs#step-3-navigate-to-that-entry
Great feature! Is there a way to update slugs in bulk using the ‘Set a thing’s slug’ workflow? I have a few thousand users I want to apply the new slugs to.
You can schedule a API workflow on a list
Ah yes of course. Do you know what the behaviour if there are duplicate values?
Yes! Check out the documentation listed below 
Superstar - thankyou!
just wanted to say thank you bubble for adding this.
worked very well and is great for sharing my app.
i did schedule an api workflow on a list of things. (quite a long one)
it timed out so I then only did the api workflow on items where slug was still empty. until it was filled for all entries.
Hello Bubble.
This is a great update, thanks!
Unfortunately it doesn’t support multilingual sites. I would love to have a different slug for each of the languages my site supports.
