Auto Creation of Primary Reference Number in Database doesn't get Reindex in the Front End Anymore

We have added an auto add of records when a new resource is created which is the Primary Reference Number. The automation is triggered from the database when a new resource is created in the front end.

Previously in 7.4.x, the Primary Key automatically shows as a descriptor when creating a new resource. However, in 7.5.1, that has some change.

As an example, User created a new Botanical Heritage resource which is BOT-1117. The Tutangi ID got generated automatically after her refreshing the resource, however, we did notice that the Display Name is still showing :

Looking through the Search Map, it also just shows as rather than the ID which could be an indexing issue.

However, after further investigation and troubleshooting, I think what is happening is because the Tutangi ID is automatically being generated from the database, it is not being saved using the ADD button. There might be a code in the ADD (SAVE) button in the front end that is calling an index code and updates the name in the resource or descriptions.

As a test, I updated BOT-1117 to BOT-1118 and click SAVE EDIT

Which has then updated the Display Name to show the Tutangi ID

NOTE: Also, might be related to this issue – reading through the 7.5.0 release notes, one of the breaking changes notes is about the descriptors:
