Hi!
We’re on 1.8.0.beta12 and have noticed an odd thing with not being able to edit topics to be able to change the case of the subject:
Example:
a. We spot a topic subject that someone asks us to update because it’s in lower case:
b. I’ll go in an update it (pilots are really into their letter casing being correct 🙂 )
c. It doesn’t take, as in doesn’t seem to edit:
Not sure if a bug or just a misunderstanding. It just seems like an issue on editing and not creating new topics. We’ve also tried doing things like adding a character like ‘-’ on the end to force a change, but it still always reverts back to how it was.
Thanks for any help.

In Chrome console the PUT seems to go through ok (cookie/CSRF blanked):
Response with 200:
> {“basic\_topic”:{“id”:1742,“title”:“VEAO p-40f”,“fancy\_title”:“VEAO p-40f”,“slug”:“veao-p-40f”,“posts\_count”:36,“category\_id”:7}}

You want the “title prettify” site setting.

Turn off title prettify in site settings

Thank you! F/A-18C here we come!
I’m now more worried that I couldn’t think of the word ‘capitalization’ that would have led me to that search result 🙂
EDIT: We also needed ‘allow uppercase posts’ to be enabled as well:
