Rename List Items

Hello,

I have a List with names only and no codes. The names in the source system are now increasing beyond 60 characters. I want to change the naming convention in order to accommodate the size limitation. I know I will need to add a code in order to change the existing names. However, if I rename List items, will all references to them be automatically updated throughout the model? Is there anything I need to look out for or be careful of when I change a List item name?

Thanks!

@ScottA Hi Couple of things to consider

if your model is in deployed mode you wont be able to change the name of a list items unless its marked as production data in configure tab .

if its not in deployed mode you can change the list items any moment and yes all references will be automatically updated .

Another suggestion if your list item names are beyond 60 characters and need to be shown in model you may explore making it numbered list if that works for you .
