Missing automatic Meta description in FC v4.0.0 (old behaviour was to auto use description as metadesc, if metadesc is not set)

I used to have the meta description in all my articles. Now it is missing from FC4 after I updated. Can someone help? 

I tried metasocial plugin for flexi  it only adds OG meta.is there is a setting in the new FC4? thanks! 

hello can you provide a link for testing ? because i tested no problem ..
its a joomla3 -> joomla4 migration too ?

Hello

please go to type configuration
and look at options for item form backend (or frontend)

are meta fields it enabled ?

Thanks for the quick response.  please see image, allow me to add that we never had the meta fields filled in. It was an automatic excerpt from the description of the item. My confusion is from lack of knowledge, is that an option with flexicontent? or was that a custom piece that was over written? thanks!

hello copy past image in content doesn't works can you upload it ?
and can you reply to my question about joomla version ?

attached.  Joomla version 3.10.0 . 

Hello

so when you say missing from articles , you mean when viewing the articles them in frontend ? (you do not mean item form)

yes, the code changed
if the metadesc is empty then no meta description will be added

Previous code (when metadesc is empty) it added the 160 first characters of the item's description
Should we restore previous behaviour ?

Yes please let's restore that feature. It hurts SEO... Thanks you!

Hello

It would impact SEO only if you do not display the description text, otherwise it should not make a difference ???
but we can restore the old behaviour in v4.0.1 (aka set description text as metadesc when metadesc is empty)

i was checking default code for Joomla article manager and they do not auto-use description text as "metadesc" when metadesc is empty. Just mentioning this
