Regardless of syntax chosen or file extension manually applied, Textastic saves as .txt
Regardless of what kind of file I open - what syntax it has - or what kind of file I create from scratch - what syntax I choose after opening a new file - Textastic saves the file with the .txt extension. And even if I manually change the file name to have the correct file extension for its syntax (for instance test.md), Textastic adds the .txt extension anyway (test.md.txt)
This on lates macOS and latest version of Textastic

In the save sheet, when saving an untitled file, you should be able to change the file extension from "txt" to "md". I just tried this out and it works for me.
I'd recommend the following: after creating a new file in Textastic, immediately change the syntax definition from Plain Text to e.g. Markdown (in the bottom bar). Then, when you enter text and save the file, Textastic should automatically suggest .md as the file extension.
Thanks for the video.
What happens when you use Cmd-S or File -> Save instead of renaming using the title bar?The problem may be that the title bar only allows you to change the file name, not the file extension/type. That’s a limitation of the macOS document system.
Use File -> Save instead.
