Collection name could not be changed

Question

Dear Folks,

Actually, I'm new to Alteryx and am gaining knowledge on this day-by-day.

I believe, you'll help me on this -  Recently, I've experience a strange behavior when I was supposed to rename a collection in Alteryx Gallery  and the collection name got changed, but it throws a warning kind of message as shown below. Could someone please let me know the reason why it's displaying this message,  so that, it'll be helpful for me to explain about this to my Alteryx users .

Thanks in Advance 😊

Hi ,

Thanks for looking on this case.

Actually, I'm an Alteryx Admin in my project and am the owner of the collection , so, my question in this case is  -  when I tried to change the existing collection name , the name is updating fine, but it's popping up a warning message : " Collection name could not be changed ".  Just want to know why it's throwing that warning message, is that expected  or  is it a bug ?

I request you to do simple testing at your end on regarding this, by creating a new collection in Alteryx Server and then tried to rename that collection, and you'll encounter this warning message .

Thanks again  !

Hi,

To change the collection name you need to be owner of the collection.

Go to admin page and change the admin to yourself.

Afterwards you will be able to change the collection name.

Hi @J_Gopikrishna ,

We are facing the same problem in our gallery. However, we had a multi-forest domain issue, which we thought might be the cause of the error.
