How to rename a TAG without deleting it

[yuval1983]

Hello everyone, I created a tag for a group of Services but I made a mistake in the name. How can I rename a tag without deleting it?

Hi,

I think you need to create a new one with same rules.

Best regards

Thanks for the quick reply.

I don't understand why it's not possible to change the name without deleting it, especially because I have a large number of services.

How have you set the tag ?

Changing the key of an auto tag is very easy.

With custom tags it's pretty easy as well, just need to delete it using the same selector and apply it again. If you set it this way please provide the selector.

@yuval1983 , just like @mark_bley inquired - how did you create the tag? Is the tag crated by way of Dynatrace's Auto tags via the Settings page in the UI? Was it a manual tag? If so, adjusting the name and methods of the tag is very easy and no longer requires deleting the tag for automatically applied tags.
