I update topic using custom controller where function was triggered through ajax. Client side code gets back result with a changed topic title but I’m unable to figure out how to refresh topic title in topic-view inside “then” callback. Strangely the archieved property change will call archieved “lock” icon to show up. Title will change only in page title but not in topic main title.

```
export default {
  actions: {
    clickSoldButton(topic) {
      ajax("/topic/sold", {
        type: "PUT",
        data: {
          topic_id: topic.id
        }
      }).then((result) => {
        topic.set('custom_fields.sold_at', result.topic.sold_at);
        topic.set('title', result.topic.title);
        topic.set('archived', result.topic.archived);
      }).catch(() => {
        bootbox.alert(I18n.t('topic_trading.error_while_marked_as_sold'));
      });
    }
  }
};

```

Is there a certain way to get Title to change other than navigating to topic or page reload?
