**Description**  
When I duplicate a project, rename it, and then exit the project to the dashboard, the project is not rename. After reloading the page, the project is still not renamed. After entering the project again, editing the naming, clicking the check button, and then exiting to the dashboard again, sometimes the project is renamed, sometimes not. After a few times repeating this, the project eventually is renamed.

Basically, the lag for a project to be rename is long.

**How to replicate**  
Duplicate a projet → Rename it → Click the check button to confirm the renaming → Exit to the dashboard → See if the project has been renamed as expected in a timely manner.

By “project”, I assume you mean an “app”?

Please report this to the support team.

After playing around with it, I realize it’s minor bug.

When you rename the application which can only be done in the builder, there are 2 scenarios:

**Scenario 1**  
Rename  
Click on the check symbol  
→ **Result** : the app is renamed in the builder (as expected) and in the dashboard (as expected)

**Scenario 2**  
Rename  
Click away from the name editing field with out clicking on the check symbol  
→ **Result** : the app is still renamed in the builder (as expected really) but _not_ in the dashboard. When you enter the app again, the new name is still in the builder (as expected) and when you exit back to the dashboard the old name is still there. So if you don’t click the check symbol, at least for a while the app has two different names, one in the builder and one in the dashboard.

**In summary**  
It seems that clicking the check symbol pushes the new name to the dashboard, but clicking on it is not required for the new name to be saved in the builder. To be on the safe side, when renaming an app, click on the check symbol even though it’s seemingly not required.
