Quote

curl 'http://192.168.1.1:8096/Users/{userid}/Items/{item_id}?api_key={api_key}'

Modify SortName and ForcedSortName in BaseItemDto, then make a post request:

Quote

curl -X POST -d '{"SortName":"test","ForcedSortName":"test", ....... and many others from BaseItemDto......}' 'http://192.168.1.1:8096/Items/{item_id}?ItemId={item_id}&api_key={api_key}'

The steps to reproduce the problem are the same as described in my post. First use the interface /Users/{userid}/Items/{item_id} to get all the information of a movie, then modify the SortName and ForcedSortName fields inside, and then request the interface /Items/{item_id} to modify the movie's metadata.

The server log when requesting to modify the metadata interface is as follows:

What happens when you edit the sort title using the metadata editor? How does that compare?

[hisune 3]

After adding the following changes, the SortName can be modified as expected.

Quote

{  

   ...... // others

   "SortName":"DPLZWJ",
   "ForcedSortName"："DPLZWJ",
   "LockedFields"": [ // ------------> This is the added modification
     "SortName" // ------------> This is the added modification
   ],

   ...... // others

}

It won't work if you just modify the following：

Quote

{  

   ...... // others

   "SortName":"DPLZWJ",
   "ForcedSortName"："DPLZWJ",

   ...... // others

}

Why does this happen? 

[Luke 37094]

Hi, are you still having an issue with this?

[hisune 3]

No, I solved this problem.

[Luke 37094]

What was the solution?

[kaelin 8]

I was having this same problem and hisune was right. Once I added "SortName" to LockedFields, It started updating the Sort Title again. Not sure why that is.

Yes, I do the same

[Luke 37094]

OK this is sort of normal, notice how the metadata editor auto-locks those fields if you edit them. If you don't lock the sort title then the server will just end up resetting it.

I realize it isn't obvious that you need to do this though.
