How can I rename a manufacturing model or a setup?

There doesn't seem to be a menu option to rename a manufacturing model or setup.  They use sequential names that are meaningless to me, and my design requires that I have half a dozen of each.  I would like to rename them to be more meaningful for me.  It seems like a trivial missing feature in the product, but wanted to check to see if there is another way to achieve this.

Hi

 

Highlight the setup or manufacturing model, then click again and you can rename

Thanks.  I always use right-click menus and don't edit inline often.  I didn't realize I can change the setup name that way.  Unfortunately this does not work with manufacturing models, but the most important things are my setups.  They are all renamed to make sense to me now.  Thanks!

Hi

 

Can you expand on "Unfortunately this does not work with manufacturing models"?

 

You can clearly see in the video that I renamed a Manufacturing model, am I missing something?

When in the MFG workspace you cannot change components or sketch names. 

It'd be nice if we could...

My app was glitching and I eventually lost the ability to fully select a manufacturing model. I eventually closed and restarted fusion and now have no issues selecting and renaming models now too.
