Suppose I have an existing application with prefix `ABC`. The application contains multiple objects, whose names start with `ABC_` according to Appian's naming convention.

Suppose now that I want to edit the application's prefix to `ABC123`(for instance in Appian Designer, by clicking the 3-dot button next to the application name, and selecting properties).

Is there a way to automatically update the prefix of all application objects?

Is there a way to automatically update the prefix of all application objects?

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

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.

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.

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.
