Bug - Cannot rename section

[myle]

I'm encountering a bug where I cannot edit section name, even though I can edit page names.

I've tried to refresh the page multiple times, open in a fresh new window, use the 3 dots > Rename. None of them worked.

Same problem encountered.  No action yet from looker studio team? This has been going on for days now.

I encountered the same problem! Why is there no action from the Looker team. I need to stop my dashboard development until this will be solved. 😕

@Rick_E or @JenS , do you know if this is on the Looker Studio team's radar? See also this thread.

I'm experiencing a similar challenge. I can't rename a section in my dashboard. Can the development team take a look at this bug?

[Rick_E]

Hi folks! Apologies for the trouble. Yes, we're aware of the issue and are looking into.

Workaround:

Key Steps

1. Access the Web Application
2. Open the web application where you need to rename the section.
3. Locate the Section to Rename
4. Navigate to the section you wish to rename.
5. Open Inspect Tool
6. Right-click on the section's arrow or the section itself.
7. Select "Inspect" from the context menu to open the developer tools.
8. Copy the Selector
9. In the Elements tab of the developer tools, right-click on the highlighted HTML element corresponding to the sections own "Rename" option.
10. Choose "Copy" and then select "Copy Selector" from the submenu.

Use jQuery to Rename the Section

1. Open the console in the developer tools.
2. Type in the jQuery command using the copied selector to force a click on the section. The command format should look like this:
3. $(‘<copied_selector>’).click();
   Press Enter to execute the command.

Edit the Section Name

1. Once the section is highlighted, you can enter the new name directly.
2. Save Changes
3. Ensure that any changes made are saved according to the application’s protocol.

Ensure you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the section.
