I am trying to uncheck the two checkboxes in the embedding settings to disable the `truncate` and `unlist` features when generating posts from my site in which discourse is embedded. It seems not to work as every time I click `save` and then fresh the page, these two checkboxes are checked again.

I investigated a little myself by checking the developer tool. Found that every time I uncheck the checkboxes and click `save`, this API is called `https://site.com/admin/customize/embedding`. However, in the payload, these two `ebed_truncate` and `ebed_unlisted` attributes are always true no matter whether the checkboxes are checked or unchecked.

- I’m using 3.1.0.beta5 and the official docker installation guides.
- Chrome 114.0.5735.199 on Windows
- Tested on Firefox 114.0.2, still not working

Could it be something wrong on the front end side? Any advice and direction would be appreciated!

Hello, I upgraded to 3.1.0.beta6 and the issue remains. Do we have a plan to fix this bug already?
