If you select the default "index, follow" in the Global Configuration the value is empty and no Robot-Tag is set. As remarked in various OnPage Tools this throws an error and additionally you set there index, follow so why this tag shouldn´t be shown as selected.
Testing Instructions
Before applying the patch: Go into the Global configuration and be sure Robots is set to: index, follow
Check the Sourcecode in Frontend:
After applying patch:
Change value from index, follow to another one and then back

thank you!
Is there really a positiv impact with this change for a Joomla! page or is it only dead weight? Because Google says: "The default values are "index, follow" (the same as "all") and do not need to be specified."
@bembelimen in such case the code in head.php should check if the value is empty and don't render that tag at all, or am I getting this wrong?

I don't see the benefits of this.. only more html output... what is the Idea behind it because index, follow is implicit
@bembelimen looking at the docs in w3c I think the case is only applicable to googlebot.
@stefanpolzer as I wrote before #13189 (comment) if this is the default then we should not render the tag at all...
Addendum: if the OnPage Tool throws any kind of error than it should be a issue of the OnPage Tool not Joomla.... just my view
Then the default value must be named "not set (index, follow)" ?
@dgt41 from the w3c html standard the meta tag with attribute robots is a optional tag... the reason of this tag is not to allow SE any action, more to tell what is prohibited (a good SE respect it). Google write this explicitly... but I'm very sure that no SE will not cowl/index the page if the index follow information is missing
@coolcat-creation only not set confuses a lot of people... what about a Plugin with one additional option? Index follow implicit (not set) and index follow explicit... but forcing ever one to have index follow in the header seems a little bit mutch
Current behavior is correct. This PR can be closed.
