Persistent means more of pushing for something, urging something, or continuing to show repetitive behavior to gain or have something. "Consistent," or "Permanent" would be a better choice. However, "It should persistent" is not proper. It should read: "It should be* persistent," or, "It should be* consistent."

Hi, Quang Vinh I do not want to update my username on my email through PUT API, because I think it should be consistent with the username I signed up with. I hope this helps Casey

Hi Quang Vinh, Given the IT context, and the design implications of this statement, here's how I would put it: I don't allow the email and username fields to be updated through the PUT API, because these fields should persist from when the user first created the account.

Context is important. See Rohit's answer below. "Persist" has a specific meaning in IT, and in this case it is the correct and widely understood term. "Consistent" makes no sense, as it's meant to compare two things.

I do not allow updating email and username through PUT API, because I think it should be persistent from when the user creates an account. You were almost there. You cannot say "it should persistent" You can say: It should persist Or It should be persistent
