# Limit slugs to ASCII for auto-generated titles

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-11-06)

I currently have auto-generated titles that contains accents and so does the slugs.

Since the slug is used to generate assets folders, accents aren't suitable and results in question marks in the folder names.

I was hoping that limitAutoSlugsToAscii would answer this problem but it only affects the javascript for dynamically generated slugs.

Is there a simple way to achieve this ?
