Scope name - Can I rename the scope application name in studio?

[Luis Roman1]

I created a scope and would like to change the name of the scope. Can that be possible? I do not want to change the symbolic name just the regular name of the scope.

Is that possible? If it is, how to?

Your guidance and education is appreciated.

Hello @Luis Roman1 

You can change the label of the application scope, but this is a risky thing to do.

You can do this by following the below steps:

1. Navigate to sys_scope.list
2. Search for your scoped application.
3. Open the record, and export it as XML
4. Make the changes in the XML and import it back to the instance. You need to update the name and short description of this record.
5. Clear cache, and reload the browser.
6. The updated scope name should reflect now.

I just changed the it for an OOB scoped app, and it worked.

It is simple to change the "Name" value of a sys_scope record from a list view of sys_scope records. You may NOT change the name of the "Scope" field.  For that, delete the app and start over. Of course, do not change any OOB records.

Bert are you saying to change the name field here and that would work?
