Rename a DataFlow does not work

I have created some DataFlows and then decided to rename them due to a better naming convention i thought up!.  Problem being when I go to Properties of the Dataflow and rename it, the dataflow renames for a fraction of a second then reverts back to original state.

 

Anyone else experiencing the same?? Or am i using the wrong method to rename??

    tanyad  Yep experiencing the same thing. A no brainer feature and the lack of it creates a major work overhead if the dataflow has dozens of table loads as mine do..... 

     

    I added an idea ( feature request) for this.

      I am presuming the feature is there as it lets you rename it in the properties, I just think it does not work.

    Same issue here - Renamed failed pop up with session and request ids.

    However, if I Edit the dataflow. don't make any changes then Publish later then I can rename the dataflow.

    Very annoying.

  • I am having this same issue. I need to rename my data flows for better alignment and its not saving. Any idea how long this might last or what I can do to continue working on these?
