Can not name or rename Workflow column

In the root of a Space, when I select “+ New field” and “Workflow”, I see this:

fibery-add-workflow

When I click “Add Field”, a column appears with the name “State”. I then select the option to edit the column, change the column name at the top of the subsequent modal, and click “Update Field”. The result is a message stating that I can not rename “mixin” fields:

Is this expected (am I doing something wrong), or is this a UX failure?

Hi!
Some of the fields can’t be renamed because of technical limitations - State, Documents & Whiteboard extensions, and Assignees

Maybe we have to make it a bit more clear from the UI

:slight_smile:

Yes. At minimum the “Field name” (as pictured) should be disabled so that it doesn’t appear to be editable. Note that the error message states that I cannot rename the field - which made me think that I could have named it initially when adding it, though I found no way to do so.

Regardless, it would be nice to be able to give a custom name to any column added, including these “Workflow” columns.
