OpenVPN group is mislabeled

I managed to get openvpn working fine on opnsense.  But I now have two identical set of rules both named OpenVPN. 
One refers to IF=openvpn,  The other one refers to IF=opt4

Comparing those to what was setup for WireGuard, I believe the one on IF=openvpn should be labeled "OpenVPN (Group)"

Under Firewall/Group it shows wireguard, openvpn, and enc0

I would like to know how to edit that entry under Firewall/Rules named 'OpenVPN' and rename it to 'OpenVPN (group)' like the wireguard one. 

The other question would be is that entry REALLY a group? 


Tried editing a backup file and changing the name to 'OpenVPN (group)', but when I restored that backup things stay the same. 

I understand your concern and there is room for improvement, but also keep in mind that this has been the default for 2 decades and overlapping naming is always a problem. If you called your interface-assigned OpenVPN instance "OpenVPN" it's hard to distinguish. This is true for any other interface overlapping in descriptions.

Feature requests go through GitHub. This ensures that when a feature is released we can go back/point to the original request. The forum is not well suited for tracking/labeling tasks.
