When renaming an entity a prompt (yes / no) to rename all usages of this entity to the new name would be really nice. With check boxes which elements should be renamed:
- Form names
- Form titles
- Variable names (iterators, newEntityName, listnames)
- Microflow paramaters
- Associations
- etc.
For example
- Assocation: Entity Preparation is used in association PaymentReminder_Preparation, Preparation is renamed to Confirmation, the association will be renamed to PaymentReminder_Confirmation.
- Variable NewPrepartion will be renamed to NewConfirmation
- Iterator variable iteratorPreparation_2 to iteratorConfirmation_2
It would require some logic to recognize the usages of the entity and how it is used in variables etc. because of post and prefixes =) but would be a nice productivity improvement.
Association names are renamed, but all other occurences of the entity name are not.
I can not believe Mendix did not fix this yet and that not more Mendix users have supported this so far.
Doing a clean refactor action is very hard because of this.
