Objects to be referenced by ID not name

When object name is changed then in all processes where this object was used it no longer exists in the actions and it should be again added for all the missing actions. It could be the same as for process - when the name is changed it still exists in other processes where it is used as it is referenced by ID I guess.

This is a much demanded enhacement for object names , data items and i believe ideas already exist for this. 
However I am not sure about the statuses of those ideas

I strongly support this Idea. When we change the name of the object or actions name in the object they should auto change wherever they called (from any process's or object's action stages). The same goes with Data Items. 

It save's us from unnecessary troubles and save's lot of time.

There is a workaround for it if you do it correctly - to open exported object/process in text editor (as it is xml file) and then replace all "old object name" with "new object name", and then import it back, however all the inputs and outputs are not always assigned, so there is still work to do and you need to fill them in or use again the replacing. 🙂

A Right-Click in Studio and then select the 'Rename' option would indeed be very nice to have.

Till we wait for this feature to be implemented , there is a small trick to rename an existing Process/Object.  
For Objetcs - Go to initialize and double  click on info stage,  and change the name and save it
For Processes- Go to Main Page and double  click on Info Stage and save it 
By following the above steps your exisitng processes/objects would be renamed..
However as what this idea is about renaming them break their references wherever they are being used
