    It most likely is due to a facebook cache, which at that time, you had a different title in your form.

    I have now rescraped the facebook cache for your form (http://www.jotform.co/form/72537308428864) and it should show a different information the next time you share it.

    If in case you need to re-scrape or clear again the cache on facebook, please go to their debugger tool page (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/), enter the URL of your form there and click the Scrape Again button.

    If in case you need any assistance, or if you have other questions please let us know.

    Thanks.

    This also happened to me once. You need to clear the cache. Thank you for your quick response!

    As my colleague showed above you can clear it in https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ console:
