Reseting robots.txt override doesn't seem to work as expected

I can reproduce as well!

To devs: The issue concerns render_to_string that renders the template with a default layout.

app/controllers/admin/robots_txt_controller.rb

main


      
          StaffActionLogger.new(current_user).log_site_setting_change(
            "overridden_robots_txt",
            previous_value,
            new_value,

github.com/discourse/discourse

app/controllers/admin/robots_txt_controller.rb

main


      
              "overridden_robots_txt",
              previous_value,
              "",
            )
          
            render json: { robots_txt: original_robots_txt, overridden: false }
          end

Here is a solution: adding , layout: false param.
