Good evening, for some time now I’ve been unable to unfavorite places in my profile, & I found out that it likely had something to do with me favoriting the subplace to my game instead of the starting root place id. (for clarification, the place with the arch as the thumbnail is the starting place, the desert place thumbnail is the subplace)
Here is my Roblox Profile
Now, looking at my favorites, you may think that the one place I have in my favorites, I want there, well…
This place is not favorited, but it’s still in my profile, it turned out that it was because I favorited the subplace, and it shows the root place instead of the subplace.
Going to the subplace that I did favorite, it appears as I favorited it
Now, I naturally tried to unfavorite the subplace, but I couldn’t, refreshing just still had it favorited
I then went to inspect the network side of things and I found that it was unfavoriting places by the universe id, not the place id (the universe id is 7359852786)
This is why when I was unfavoriting the subplace that I had favorited by accident, it would not unfavorite it, but it would instead unfavorite the universe id, which is linked to the start place; unfavoriting the subplace would unfavorite the start place, which was not favorited to begin with, the subplace was; in this example I had the start place & the subplace favorited, I unfavorite the subplace, the start place gets unfavorited - except the subplace does not

Expected behavior
I would expect the subplace to be unfavorited successfully, and the root place not to be unfavorited, perhaps through adding a place id to the payload and unfavoriting that id, or not allowing subplaces to be favorited in the future and only allow root places to be favorited because of the fact that the only realistic way to be able to see a subplace is through the web and let’s say a user on console or a tablet were to try to unfavorite a subplace, it’d be very difficult because it would just show the start place as it does on every platform, just some suggestions but the main thing I would expect is for the subplace to be unfavorited, that & unfavoriting the subplace should not unfavorite the start place but only the subplace; I hope this was useful & helpful, thank you :,)
