Update Story URL does not work

[jbotte]

Hello,

I used both the cli and the mutation to update a stories URL, the change does take and I can get the updated url if I query stories with graphql ... but as soon as a user visits the story and likes or comments the url reverts back to the original.

I have attempted to invalidate the story cache but it says caching isn't being used on the story.

Replicated issue in 8.1 and 8.5.0

Thanks!

Expected behavior:
Expect the URL of story to update and stay updated

Actual behavior:
URL updates temporarily then reverts as soon as someone likes or comments on the story.

Versions:
8.5.0 and 8.1.0

• Browser: not browser specific
• OS: docker image

hi there, the story URL must match the URL that the story is embedded on, is that the case here or are you trying to update the URL to something different?

original story slug was updated by the author because of a typo so I was trying to update it to the new active url of the post.

it's been a good week or two I can try updating it again and see if things changed, maybe too many people had the article open with the typo still?

Let me do that and report back.

Looks like once I waited for no one to have the article open it stopped resetting the URL, that being said the comment count seems broken still... wonder if it makes sense to have comment count by ID instead of URL eventually?
