Hello,

No I did not find out to do it,

this is where I’d like to edit the folder names :

Just had a look at it. Not sure if its exactly what you are looking for, but when creating a new variable its possible to create a sub folder in a folder. I haven’t figured out hos to rename the folders…

The current folder situation is not the greatest UX indeed.

Is there a solution already to rename folders? According to [this thread](https://community.weweb.io/t/how-to-rename-an-existing-variable-folder/4824), it should be possible to simply double-click on it to change the name, but this does not seem to work (anymore?)

Wondering if there is any insight or progress on folder renaming. Seems like this is a UI oversight? Where do we make or upvote a feature request?
