I have an app with a given data type. I made a mistake in the original naming and I would like to rename it. I can’t seem to figure our how to do that.

notice: I do not want to rename the fields within the datatype, I want to rename the datatype itself.

If I go to DATA → DATA TYPES there does not seem to be an interface to allow renaming.

Am I missing something?

When you click on the data type itself…right at the top it says ‘Type name’.

You can’t click in there and change it to what you want?

It’s what I do on mine when I want to change the name.
