Occasionally we have to rename a page on Staging before it gets deployed to Live.
When deployed the redirects are not deployed.
If that page has been publicised in advance e.g. a newsletter link this becomes an issue.
Can redirects be part of content transfer in the future?

Best to create an issue for it on the Deploy issue tracker.. but this used to be supported, so maybe it’s a bug?

Seems to be related to this thread: https://github.com/um… braco/Umbraco.Deploy.Issues/issues/35#issuecomment-1025603579
When renaming/moving a content node in the content tree, a redirect is created.
When transferring the content these redirects should also be transferred if the content exists in the next environment.
However, it doesn't do it.
In this specific case with Heartcore projects, on older created Heartcore projects (even though versions are the same as newer ones)
One thing we noticed is that they have parent nodes that do not vary by culture, with vary by culture child nodes.
Whenever you transfer these it won't add a value to the culture for the redirect which is why the redirect is transferred wrong and looks like this

Out of curiosity, I tested this behavior on my v11 test project, I encounter a different behavior completely.
None of my redirects are transferred at all, there.
In the Deploy codebase, we indeed don't transfer redirects, but there is logic to ensure if you have existing content on the remote/destination environment, it will create redirects when the content segment changes or it's moved.
### Specifics
Here is a video to showcase the problem.
https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco.Deploy.Issues/assets/83580347/e3bb2eab-8a36-45d5-b43d-fd902cad90c7
### Steps to reproduce
1. Created a Umbraco Cloud project with 2 environments
2. Created some document types with a parent that doesn't vary by culture and children that vary by culture
3. Created some content on the dev environment & transferred it over to Live
4. Then I renamed/moved around content trees - to create some redirects in the Redirect URL management
5. Transferred all the content, and got not redirects.
### Expected result
Expected to get all the redirects in the Live environment.
### Actual result
Didn't get any redirects

Thanks @sebastiaan will do.
I have been testing and found this happens under certain conditions.
I’ll report to Deploy team
