Modern Group Connected Site: Can't rename Site title

What's the trick for changing the display title of SPO site that is connected to a Group? the Site Settings page no longer has the option to do this?

Anyone know the status of this? I cant change the name of my team sites, just get an error message saying 'An error occurred while processing this request'.

 

My customer wants a specific naming standard for their Azure AD groups but we dont want that name to be the display name of the site. Is there a way to achieve this? If I change the name of the O365-group it change the name of the Azure AD group as well so that is not an option. I can rename the team but not the Sharepoint site.

Make sure you also change the Site Description. If you set both the Site Title and Site Description then click apply, the changes will take.

    Trevor Seward I can change the title but the change does not apply to the small page heading. In the example below, I deleted 'Project' and the term following it. The change took for the large title but not the page heading (circled).

     

     

     

    The site is subordinate to the SharePoint Online site that's associated with a Team. The site template is Project Site.

      Rasmus Österholm Because a decent interface would let you update the Title only and not force you to change the description without actually telling you it obligatory due to poor programming.
