Hello,

not sure if this is a bug or not, but here's it is.

I recently migrated a Joomla 3.10 site into 4.2 (test environment). I noticed a very weird situation with SEO.
In Joomla 3.x category meta description showed up normally in the head, and articles under it showed up normally their own meta description in the head.

This is no longer the case: now the category meta desc. appears as a meta desc. of all articles in it, ignoring their own meta desc.

I had noticed this was happening in Joomla 3.x. ONLY with the meta desc. of a menu item (of a category). Then all articles got the menu item's meta desc. But if the category itself had a meta desc. and the menu item meta desc. was empty, all worked well.

Since this is a SEO issue, and it seriously affects articles' own meta, can someone take a look?

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla! 4.2.6 Stable
PHP 8.1.14
(Server: Apache)
