Removing specific phrase from all new post titles

support
1

I am using data from a Facebook post to fill in a Discourse topic title via Zapier automation. What I would like very much is to subtract the last set of characters from the title. These are craigslist titles and are formatted like this=“2000 Subaru 2.5rs - cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle automotive sale”

I want to remove “- cars & trucks - by owner - vehicle automotive sale” from the title so we just see the year and Car, in this case, “2000 Subaru 2.5rs”. Is there a way to do this?

Here is my Forum: https://radreport.discourse.group/

Try Watched Words > Replace.

/admin/customize/watched_words/action/replace

Edit: I tested this and it does not work on post titles.

This should probably work on topic titles as well @sam?

I vaguely recall we discussed this with @nbianca a few months ago, where was it at?
