This is a problem that has been reported more than once over the past 4 years at least. Plex seems reluctant to acknowledge that it is a bug.

Plex changing movie title even though it's locked

Hello,   I've changed bunch of metadata with my movies (TheMovieDB had wrong info) including movie title. But after some time (library refresh) the titles got changed back to those from TheMovieDB. All other information (sort title, description, etc.) remained correct (the way I've written it), but movie title didn't. The lock icon in edit metadata is locked.   How can I force Plex not to change that movie title?   Newest plexPass version of PMS, Windows 7 machine.

Why doesn't LOCK mean LOCK when editing content details?

I create libraries that I want organized a very specific way. I edit the various fields to reflect this. These fields appear locked with the nice lovely orange padlock. I manually change DOZENS of titles. The next day, they are all put back. All that work is lost. I try anything I can think of to get them to stick but get bupkis. After searching the forums and giving myself carpal tunnel clicking on the multitude of posts about this EXACT issue and reading about all the complex hoops to jump t…

If you have manually set the lock on a field, NOTHING should be allowed to change the contents of the field except manual edits.

Same thing here. Plex, is there a solution ? Why have a lock if it doesn’t lock ? It changes all of myu artowrk after I spend time editing with correct metadata. Want to fix it again but I dont want to waste my time if the issue is not even addressed. Plex, help please.

Any plex pros have any ideas or fix ?
It would be appreciated.

I have the same thing happen. It changes the Collection tags, Content Rating and Poster even when there is a lock on those items.
