Changing Flow Names in Flow Designer

I have a question about changing the flow name in Flow Designer.
My instance is in Tokyo.

After creating a flow as shown below, when I try to change the flow name, it does not change.

Not only me, but other members working together are having the same problem.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Create a new flow in Flow Designer.
2) Change the flow name on the Flow Properties screen.
 -> The flow name on the screen does not change.
3) Open the Flow Properties screen again and check the flow name.
 The flow name is back to what it was before the change.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone know the cause or how to fix this?
Is this a bug in Snow from the Tokyo version?

I thought I could change it normally in previous versions.
Thank you in advance.

Hi @KUDO1 ,

 You can take 2 main route to change the name :

 1.  Copy your current Flow and Rename:

2.  Change the default title for a flow, subflow, or action by adding styled and dynamic text.

  1. Navigate to All > Process Automation > Flow Designer.
  2. On the Flow Designer landing page, click New and then select Flow, Subflow, or Action from the list.
  3. In the Flow Designer main header, click the more actions icon. (The three dots)
  4. Click Change default title.
  5. On the Change default title screen, enter a title.
    1. Use any combination of the following options to create a styled title:
       
      Text style Example input for new title Example output in Flow Designer environment
      Bold A *bold* title
       

       

      Italic An _italic_ title
       

       

      Underline An ~underlined~ title
       

       

      Strikethough A ~~strikethrough~~ title
       

       

      Title (bold and colored) A #titled# title
       

       

    2. Add dynamically generated text for your title from an input, output, action, or action step by clicking the data pill picker (
       

       

      ) and selecting the input, output, action, or action step that you want to include in your title.
      Note: The value that is associated with the Label field for an input or output appears in the title.
  6. Click Submit.

Result

When you change your action or subflow's default title, the new title appears in the Flow Designer environment.

However, the following page states that the header name can be changed from the main header properties screen, but currently the header name cannot be changed.
Do you know why?
