Hi All,

Whats the quickest way to edit an element name without having to recreate another element with the proper name?

Please stop posting into the General forum; TM1 queries should be in the TM1 forum.

Use the search feature at top right to look through threads relating to the SwapAliasWithPrincipalName function.

Personally I wouldn't trust it; I'd prefer to export the data, change the name and re-import it. Still, it exists and as long as you back up the data first it may do what you need.

One cannot help but wonder whether these issues are related

I guess he needs to edit the element names because the users typed them in wrong.

Seems indeed very plausible

PATCH REST API, may be???

But could potentially open up another can of worms.
