Ok great, that's an easy workaround so we can deal with that.

I don't understand why there is no performance implication. Surely it is using a plugin or something to change the existing meta-data in the URL? Do you mean the performance implication is minimal? It is not changing the data in the original item, which I personally would have preferred, then the performance implication would be in the back end only.

The meta info dashboard would not be done to be completely filled in as when you click auto populate

Does this mean you should not fill in all of the meta data here, only some of the ones you need? I understand the benefit of the system, as clearly filling them in multiple places in Joomla! is a Royal PITB, but I'm confused as to whether we should consider not using it for any reason
