Continuing the discussion from [Primary group not made primary](https://meta.discourse.org/t/primary-group-not-made-primary/102619/5):

I suggest that if a user receives a primary group with a default title that the user’s title get updated unless the title has been set manually.

Current behavior is that a new primary group overrides the title of another primary group, but it does _not_ override the title of another regular group. This creates the bizarre situation where if you want a _truly_ primary group with regard to title, you need to make sure to _not_ set it as a primary group. It also means that the behavior is opposite of the way flair works with primary groups.

Surely if it overrides primary groups it should override regular groups?

OK, I see, @xrav3nz worked on this recently.

Basically you want title for `automatically set as primary group` to win against groups that don’t have `automatically set as primary group` with regard to titles.

Sounds like a reasonable change to me.
