BUG opening a renamed workflow from gallery in designer

Hello,

 

Since the last update it was possible to rename workflows in the gallery. However, after I open a renamed workflow from the gallery in designer, it will still show the old name of the workflow. This is very inconvenient as I need to save the workflow on local machines. Does anyone else have this problem or is it really a bug? Below you can find screenshots of the problem.

 

The original name of the workflow was 'cbs_84526ned_household_growth_geo_2018_xml_to_sink_to_logical' and this was renamed to 'cbs_84526ned_household_growth_2020_xml_to_sink_to_logical'. But when opening the workflow from the gallery it still gives the original workflow name (geo_2018).

Would love to see something about this as well. Had a major overhaul of our naming conventions and almost all of our workflows have different titles from Designer to Gallery.

Updating the name of a workflow in Gallery UI and then resaving the workflow from Designer results in the old name being redisplayed in the Gallery.

Hi All, 

 

We are facing the same problem with Alteryx Designer version 2022.1.1. Did the Alteryx support team provide any workaround solution for this?

 

Regards,

This is till not resolved.

In addition, once the workflow is renamed in the Gallery, if it is opened and edited in Designer, then saving it back to Gallery reverts to the original name.

There is no option to rename when saving back to Gallery

Using Save As.. results in multiple versions of the same workflow in the Gallery

The best solution we have found is to:

 - don't rename in Gallery

- open in Designer and Save As with new name

- In Gallery go to original workflow and replace newly named version
