'Make primary group' within a user group isn't changing user titles

What am I missing here?

@sp-jordan-violet

I have two scenarios.

Scenario 3

You have an extra scenario, first of all!

Setting a primary group in Discourse can automatically set a user’s title. This is achieved through the “Default title” option in the group settings. However, there are a couple of things to note:

1. The group must also have the “Automatically set as primary group” option enabled.
2. If the user has already manually selected a title in their user preferences, it won’t be overridden by the group’s default title.

@awesomerobot shared this screenshot, showing where options are on the membership pages:

We have a default title option in the group settings:

If I change their primary group to group B, save it, then change it back to A, then their title changes.

No idea why that is happening… make sure to check the settings of the groups involved, perhaps they don’t all have the same “Automatically set as primary group” setting configured.
