Allow Power Query Applied Steps Rename command before applied step has refreshed

Submitted by on ‎05-06-2026 08:58 AM

After I create a new step, I want to be able to rename the step to document the purpose of the step.  However, I have to wait for the step to completely execute first. This can cause a delay of several seconds for a complicated query, and if I'm adding several steps in sequence, this adds up.  Other commands on the query step are available without waiting, but I'd like Rename to be included in those commands.

 

I know I can skip the wait by using Advanced Editor, but then I have to edit the name in multiple locations to ensure that I don't break the query.
