[Solved] Change movie title

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.20.5.3600
Player Version#: Web Client

I rebuilt my server, and after readding the files to the library I’m going through the media to change the meta-stuff.

In this case, I’m trying to change the title of a fan-edit/restoration of Blade Runner.

When Plex scans the library it creates a merged Blade Runner.
I go to Blade Runner and Split it into two movies.
I go to the second Blade Runner and change the poster and background. Then I go to the title, and paste in " - The Analogue Cut" to the end of the title.
Whether I press Enter, or Return, or click away, Plex changes the title back to “Blade Runner.”

What do I need to do to get Plex to accept the addition to the title?

I just had a quick idea.

I went to edit the title, and before the last character, I typed in " - The Analogue Cut" so that the title was “Blade Runne - The Analogue Cutr.”
Plex accepted that change, so I went and made “Runne” into “Runner” and Plex accepted that change. So I removed the final “r” so that the title was “Blade Runner - The Analogue Cut” and Plex accepted it!

I’ll have to try to remember this when I get to the other fan modified versions/alternate releases.
