If slug field is present in your request data, then you should check if this field is accessible for assignment in your entity. Look at file src/Model/Entity/Article.php, on top of class body you will have an array named $_accessible - check if your slug field is present, and if not, set it to true:

src/Model/Entity/Article.php

$_accessible

true

protected $_accessible = [
/* other fields */
'slug' => true
];


Please check more about assignment of properties in docs: CakePHP 3 Entities - Mass Assignment
