Allow renaming gateways

Please allow renaming gateways. There has to be a way to make this possible...

I have a multi ISP configuration and when I moved recently and brought up all of my gear, got a new primary ISP installed, and discovered I cannot rename gateways with incorrect names. Creating all new gateways and gateway groups, applying them all across the firewall rules where I specify different gateways, etc is tedious and error prone. I just want to update their names 🥲

Tongue in cheek answer:

- download configuration backup
- edit XML
- re-upload configuration

I support your feature request. Though the best place for that would be an issue on Github.

Kind regards,

I'm assuming the historic reason for fixed gateway names is that no mechanism to update their internal references in the config.xml exists... from gateway groups to firewall rules.
