Modern Group Connected Site: Can't rename Site title
MS Support just called me a told me that some of the internal people are trying to state that this is "By Design", they are pushing back because there is no way that this lack of functionality could be intentional. They will call me back on Monday.

Dean, they are probably right, it most likely wasn't intentional - just yet more sloppy programming that we see all too often now from MS. "By Design" is their excuse for bugs that they let slip by or badly thought out code or functionality. Technically they think "By Design" gets them off the hook, because the code is running as it was written to do. The fact that it's doing the wrong thing is by-the-by for them. I have raised several tickets recently where they tried to use this excuse on me for things that were clearly broken.
Regarding this particular issue, I've just come across it myself trying to rename 6 new site collections. Changing a site collection display name is a standard feature of SharePoint. The fact they even provide an interface to perform this function still on a Modern Team site shows they intended for us to carry on doing it. To say "there is no way that this lack of functionality could be intentional" is a joke.
