UGC Items Name/Description can't be Configured

It is currently impossible for UGC creators to configure their accessories name/description.

Reproduction Steps:

  • Go to the “Configure” page on any avatar item.
  • Change the title/description of the item.
  • Press “Save Changes”.

Result:

  • An error appears that claims “Place update failed, please try again.”
  • The title/description of the item fail to update.

Expected behavior

The title/description of the item should be updated.

SOLUTION FOR CONFIGURING TITLE AND DESCRIPTION
If you are able to put it on sale but it won’t update the title and description, go to Roblox Studio toolbox, Go to Creations (The lightbulb button), click the drop-down, and scroll down until you find the accessory type you are looking to configure. If you scroll to the bottom, you can choose group accessories and then select the group. You must have studio access in the group to do that. This will only give you the ability to configure the title, description, and tags. To put it on sale, it must be done through the configure page.

Okay guys, I have a good news, I have found how to force edit the description/name without studio

1 - go on https://www.roblox.com
2 - open console (F12)
3 - Go console
4 - Paste the code and edit it

Replace:

  • “ITEMID” by the id of your item
  • “DescriptionOfYourItem” by the new description
  • “NameOfYourItem” by the new name

$.ajax({ url: "https://develop.roblox.com/v1/assets/ITEMID", headers:{'Content-Type':'application/json'},method: "PATCH", contentType: "application/json", data: JSON.stringify({"enableComments":true, description:DescriptionOfYourItem, name:NameOfYourItem})});

after you press enter and tada, your item now have the new description/name !

Exemple :

$.ajax({ url: "https://develop.roblox.com/v1/assets/13829822941", headers:{'Content-Type':'application/json'},method: "PATCH", contentType: "application/json", data: JSON.stringify({"enableComments":true, description:"Show your support for Rift Studio by wearing this cool cape!", name:"Rift Cape"})});

You can change the item name and description if you open google chrome and press f12, then paste the following code in console:

$.ajax({ url: "https://develop.roblox.com/v1/assets/123456789", headers:{'Content-Type':'application/json'},method: "PATCH", contentType: "application/json", data: JSON.stringify({"enableComments":false, description:"ITEM DESCRIPTION", name:"ITEM NAME"})});

Yeah I am still having issues manually putting my UGC onsale. It seems only people with UGC access can configure offsale items at the moment.
