Not possible, you can change the prefix and it will be effective while you are creating the new object but not for existing objects. You should change the prefix manually for the existing objects.

May be if the application name changes then the objects are pointing to different prefix application has different prefix to make consistent. I think he want to change all the objects prefix

Yes, my understanding too. I was just checking why the author wanted to do this, and what would happen if they weren't able to do so.

Hi Stewart,

my question was more academic than with a specific scenario in mind.

Good to know that it is not possible to do such a renaming automatically.

What will be the result if you are unable to rename all of your objects as described? What will renaming achieve for you? How many objects are you talking about? This information might help us think of other options that might work for you.

philippu0221 - there is no way to update automatically, you need to update them manually, if required

I don't think so. It wouldn't change automatically for the existing objects. For the new objects it would be effective.
