## Rename configuration elements

You can easily and safely rename configuration elements in Power Admin for Jira. When you hover over the name of a configuration element, you see a pencil icon indicating that the name is editable.

After you click on the name of a configuration element, you are ready to change the name inline.

### Duplicate names are not allowed

Duplicate names are not allowed for configuration elements of the same type. If you accidentally type a duplicate name, you will see a warning message inline and will have to try a new name.

### Renaming is not allowed for apps, filters, and workflows

Apps, filters, and workflows can't be renamed. When you hover over their name, the field remains read-only.

### Rename custom fields

You can rename custom fields the same way you rename other configuration elements in Power Admin with some specifics.

Check [Rename Custom Fields](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PA/pages/197823816) document for more information.
