Rename saved object?

Hello,

while setting up dashboard and visualizations, I usually “clone panel” then tune the settings. After that, I fix the title of the panel accordingly. However the correct title only shows up in the dashboard. The visualization itself remains with “… (copy)” title which makes the Dashboard Management > Saved Objects area quite a mess.

Isn’t there any way to rename visualizations / saved objects ?

I suppose export/import would do but that seems a bit overkill for just fixing the object name.

When save a visualization, you can update its title:

That helps! Thank you very much. Doing so directly from saved_objects doesn’t help much since one cannot see the panel title. But if I go to some dashboard, copy the panel title and edit the visualization from there, I can indeed paste and sync the visualization name with the panel title by doing “Save as” while unchecking the “Save as new visualization” box.

Ok that’s one thing. Now I wonder how to automate the process and do it all through the API, since I got loads of dashboards and visualizations.
