Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Current Behavior

When I specify space replacement for naming formats, it doesn't change anything.

Expected Behavior

When I specify that spaces in the name should be replaced with the period, it should allow me to save the change and when I rename the file, all spaces (even the ones in the title) should be replaced with the period (or other separator)

Steps To Reproduce

Open Settings -> Media Management;
Press the blue question mark button next to any of the custom name formats:
Change from Space ( ) to Period (.):
Observe that there's no way to save the change. If you also try to change other fields, the space replacement doesn't persist;
Try making the PUT request at https://sonarr.host/api/v3/config/naming with the body:

{"renameMovies":true,"replaceIllegalCharacters":true,"colonReplacementFormat":"delete","standardMovieFormat":"{Movie Title}.{Release Year}.{Quality Full}.{MediaInfo VideoDynamicRangeType}.{MediaInfo VideoCodec}.{MediaInfo VideoBitDepth}bit.{MediaInfo AudioLanguages}.{MediaInfo SubtitleLanguages}.{Custom Formats}","movieFolderFormat":"{Movie Title}.{Release Year}","includeQuality":false,"replaceSpaces":true,"separator":".","id":1}

Observe that even though the replaceSpaces in the request body was true, the response contains "replaceSpaces": false

Environment

That dropdown changes new tokens you add to the naming format to use a . instead of , but existing tokens are not changed. You need to change you existing tokens to use periods instead of spaces.

In this case the API docs are incorrectly showing that properties from v2 are still available and will need to be removed.

All these properties no longer exist:

includeSeriesTitle
includeEpisodeTitle
includeQuality
replaceSpaces
separator
numberStyle

@markus101 thanks for the reply! It took me some time to understand what exactly you mean by that, but now I get it - I need to add the separator in the tokens I have. Awesome, thanks a lot!
