Issue

Moving a catalog category in the hierarchy results in an incorrect url_path. The url_path of the category assigned to the default store scope [ id:0 ] remains unchanged after moving the category in the hierarchy. Steps to reproduce:

1. Log in to the Magento admin. Create the following category structure under the root category:move-cat sub-move-cat sub-move-cat2new-cat-move
2. Verify category [ url_path ] attribute [ id: 120 ] for value assignment in [ catalog_category_entity_varchar ] table using the following query: sql SELECT * FROM catalog_category_entity_varchar WHERE attribute_id = 120 ORDER BY value_id DESC LIMIT 4; It should give you the following result: sql MariaDB [m24dev]> SELECT * FROM catalog_category_entity_varchar WHERE attribute_id = 120 ORDER BY value_id DESC LIMIT 4; [ url_path ] values were generated and assigned to All Store scope [ 0 ]. This is correct comparing to an instance without b2b.
3. Go to backend category list, drag [ move-cat ], and drop it in to [ new-cat-move ]. Now the category should look like:new-cat-move move-cat sub-move-cat sub-move-cat2
4. Check the [ catalog_category_entity_varchar ] table using the following query: sql SELECT * FROM catalog_category_entity_varchar WHERE attribute_id = 120 ORDER BY value_id DESC LIMIT 16;

Actual result: The url_path assigned to all store scope [ 0 ] remains unchanged even though there is no such path available after the move. Also, it has new url_path values created for each store.

Expected result: The url_path assigned to all store scope [ 0 ] should also update with the new path.
