I’m on version 2.9.0.beta14 and I enabled permanently delete via DISCOURSE\_CAN\_PERMANENTLY\_DELETE in app.yml.

The option comes up in the forum for a post and if I click it, it brings up a modal asking for me to confirm and then when I click OK nothing happens.

Looking in network tab in devtools there are no requests. Looking in console there are no additional error or logs.

The post is not deleted, it still remains.
