Renaming Timelines does not change the slug

I created a timeline (when the feature was introduced to Alchemist) and called it "Test Eras". But then I decided to make it my master events timeline and change the name to Master Events, but the slug didn't update to the new name. I just tried to change the name again from Master Events to Master timeline, just in case it was fixed after I mentioned it in Alchemist channel, but it's still the test-eras slug.

Steps to Reproduce

Change the name of an existing or new timeline after checking what the slug is. Then go to view that timeline, and look at the slug again.

Operating System

MacOS

The presentation link to this particular timeline is: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/ruartei/t/test-eras-timeline   The world is public, the timeline is public but is not displayed on the home page.

this should be fixed. Can you check and close the bug ?

I tried it several times. It's still not changing the URL. I even created a brand new timeline and tried to change it. But it didn't change the viewing URL. But then I thought maybe it had something to do with similar names of previous timelines (these were all variants of Master) so I tried a completely different name that I hadn't used before. And it didn't change the URL either. (I have screenshots.)   Note: the way I'm changing the name is to change in the tab at the top of the timeline (while in edit mode). Then I go back to the timeline list and see that it's changed and click on the view icon. The slug does not change. Is there a different way to change the timeline name, maybe?   Let me know if you want screenshots or anything else.   Joella Kay

Oh, I just thought of something. My worlds have a defined slug and not the default. For example, https://www.worldanvil.com/w/ruartei rather than https://www.worldanvil.com/w/ruartei-joellakay. Could that affect the change?
