I’d like to rename a topic along the lines of “Usa” to “USA” but this doesn’t seem possible. I’m able to rename topics when changing the words entirely.

I guess I could rename it to something else entirely temporarily but it would be better if Discourse just allowed my intended change. I’m on 2.7.0.beta8.

I think this is a bug though as always I can see the other side of the argument.

Thank you.

Edit: It turns out it’s not possible to capitalise via an intermediate topic title. Discourse remembers the original title and insists on it!
