To add more context, this issue is on every form there is a slug field. We use slug fields in automation rules and do not expect these to change once these are set. However, sometimes there is a need to update the name field but not change the slugs to avoid breaking our automation workflows.

@abhi1693 commented on GitHub (Jul 16, 2022): To add more context, this issue is on every form there is a slug field. We use `slug` fields in automation rules and do not expect these to change once these are set. However, sometimes there is a need to update the `name` field but not change the `slugs` to avoid breaking our automation workflows.

This is a regression of #3810 apparently introduced in v3.0.
