Now in 2021, looks like MS has totally removed the option to rename a site!

Conax I can change the title of modern Communication Sites, using the Set-PnPWeb -Title "" command. it just keeps flipping back to the original title. Sometimes after days sometimes after a few minutes. I've tried switching off language settings in site and at the hub site level but with no luck. This is really strange. Anyone got any tips?
Thanks

Cillo8383What do you mean by "tried switching off language settings in site"? Did you remove alternate languages or just turn off the multilingual page properties setting? In the language settings of a communication site you have to click on Show advanced settings.
You don't need to do that, however it sounds like there is a mismatch between the site title in one language and the site title in other languages. There are different ways to change the site title in other languages, and "Set-PnPWeb -Title" is not one I would use, but it looks like you have a mismatch between languages.
You can use Gear Icon -> Site Information -> Site name, once for each language your site supports, or turn the multilingual page publishing feature back on, even temporarily, and use Gear Icon -> Site Information -> and click on "Translate site name" under "Site name (English)"- Cillo8383Jan 10, 2022Copper ContributorAhh. I'm thinking about what you're saying. perhaps i need to only switch off the languages and not multilingual switch? I'll test this now.
