I suppose I could just try this, but I haven’t been brave enough to attempt 🙂 I have several automations, external API calls, and formulas that call for a specific Space, Database, or Field name by their UI name. What happens if I were to rename a Space, Database, or Field? Would those automations / formulas be impacted? Will I need to rewrite those automations with the new name? ---

The only thing that will break are external API calls (and potentially scripts in automations if you have Name somewhere). Formulas, Rules, Views — all these things will be fine. ---

URLs also break when renaming a space. Would Fibery be able to add 301 redirects when a space/database name changes?
