Hello, I've created a digital asset but somehow I need to rename it for a better name, but the name field in the Type Properties window is greyed out.
I tried using the Edit Content function in Operator Type Manager, but the name always changed back to its origin name which was given when the HDA was created. The doc just mentioned it was very hard to change the name after creating the HDA.
Does anyone has a simple way to change it?
How to rename HDA?

When I've done this I've also needed to replace all of the instances in nested DA's (where the re-named asset was used) with the different definition.
I'm not sure if there's an easier or automatic way to do this, but “change definition” will keep the settings on the parameters unless those have changed as well. Then you would need to update (type properties/accept) the changes of those assets as well.
It's difficult when making nested assets to know exactely how to categorize them ahead of time

all the instances of an HDA stem from one definition - that will be listed in the Operator Type Manager…
you might have more than one definition for a single type of HDA, so the names here will be color coded…red means it's not used etc…
if you RMB on a definition you'll see a list of options, one of which is “use this definition”
because ALL the instances in a session come from only one definition, changing the definition uaed will change all the instances…
it wont change the name of the instance, or any of the parameters…
