Reproduction steps:

1. Connect Liferay to an LDAP server - you'll need to use the system settings/config files so that you can add contact mappings
2. As an addition to the usual mappings, add the following contact mappings

   prefix=initials
   suffix=st

3. Create a user in LDAP, for the initials attribute enter mr
4. For the st attribute enter jr (of course, you are free to use any other attributes)
5. Log in with the user
6. You'll see that as prefix mr and as suffix jr have been set
7. Update both the prefix and suffix to something different

Attached a config file that works with out-of-the-box Apache DS

Expected behavior: the changes should be exported to LDAP

Experienced behavior: the changes aren't exported to LDAP
