Hi,

After renaming a type, there is sometimes\* an error message being shown “Cannot rename type” and the renaming is not reflected immediately in the visual type graph. However, on reload of the app, it is seen that the type renaming has actually occurred.

Thanks!

\*This happens only after resuming the laptop from sleep / maybe after a period of inactivity!

In this example, the Component type was renamed to Subsystem.

@Shafqat_Ullah  
There are many problems with rename App, Type and Field functionality. We are going to complete it after API release.
