Originally created by @ghost on GitHub (Dec 6, 2025).

What happened?

If you have two series: "Series" and "series", you can't update one to the other. The UI just says there were no changes detected.

Workaround is to delete the series, then re-add the one with the correct case.

What did you expect to happen?

​

Steps to reproduce the issue

​

Audiobookshelf version

2.31.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Linux

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

None

Logs

Series are case insensitive, so it gets named to the old series. There is no such concept of renaming a series.
This isn't really a bug, just how series work. You can remove, save and correct it then

Of course it's a bug. Changing from "ABC" to "abc", when both exist, and having the UI just say "nah" is 100% a bug. The only thing uncertain is what exactly that bug is.

The two should possibly not be allowed to exist, or they should be consolidated or the UI should allow you to update between them, etc.

Ah, yeah, you should not have both to begin with. Sorry, did not understood exactly what you meant. Did it came from metadata? (To fix it)

Yeah, I imported a bunch of books and some imported as "Series" and other as "series". I was just trying to get them into the same series and the UI wouldn't let me

I will look into it. Just to make sure 100%. The series name was embedded in the metadata?

I'm assuming so, but I honestly forget which series' did it so I can't easily check the files. I'm importing more books though, so if it happens again I'll take note and give you exact metadata.

Is there a reason this was closed. This still sounds like a bug or did you found another reason
