Found the problem. I had a property within the Master doctype which was 'umbracoUrlName' to be used if we ever needed to overright the URL. This was a Vorto TextString data type, so Umbraco was seeing a value in this and overriding the URL!
Yes Umbraco has some predefined documenttype aliases, that you could use for some specific tasks, if you want to be a to hide a menu item from a navigtaion e.g you could use the umbracoNaviHide as alias, and then you need to write some Razor or XSLT, or C# code to hide it. https://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbraco-best-practices/umbraconavihide
Bug? Umbraco 7.2.4 generating strange URLs
I have Umbraco 7.2.4 assembly 1.0.5557.19139 installed on an Azure VM, and when creating new pages the URLs that are being created are strange.
Rather than being '/hello-world/' the URL is '/values-dtdguidcf881bd4-96e9-493e-ab3b-6c8fb7f7d40b/'
From additional testing, it seems as though having Vorto properties within the Root doctype is causing this issue. Has anyone got a solution?

Hi Tim,

See the list of predefined aliases with some built-in functionality in the left side of the page. https://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/umbraco-best-practices/umbracourlname
Hope this helps,
