Context renaming with API

[rzemmali]

Hello,

How to rename a container programmatically?

Thank you.

[Florent]

There is a Java method for this:

wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct.setName(String)
wt.inf.library.WTLibrary.setName(String)
wt.projmgmt.admin.Project2.setName(String)

Not sure if there is a REST service for the same.

I get this error when calling the setName() method:

Exception occurred: Changes to "Context Name" are restricted, once the object has been persisted.

you can also use setName() method of WTContainer

same error with WTcontainer

There seems to be this knowledge article, available on the Support site, with regards to renaming product containers;

I'd suggest opening a Support case, to double-check, with one of the customization engineers.
