Changing a discourse topic slug via api










0















We’re moving a Wordpress Sabai Discussion forum to Discourse.



Within Sabai, a title can be substantially different from the slug.



I’ve tried passing in a different slug and tried a topic_slug on a POST.
I’ve tried passing in a different slug and tried a topic_slug on a PUT.
The slug is not changing.



Example “title”: “This is a test question for the system”, “slug”:“test-question”



With the discourse API how can you make the slug to be substantially different from the title?
