Hi Kyle

>What does NOT work, however, is updating the slug. I can only assume this is some kind of Rails safeguard but I can’t seem to find anything when searching Google about it.

Unfortunately, that’s not how overriding a getter works, there’s likely a simpler explanation.

This tells me that the model is either not receiving the param, or ignoring it. Have you permitted the param in your controller?
