Updating Subscription Role name in saved searches?

Hi all - I am needing to adjust the name of a Subscription Role (in my case, I want to change “SDP/Sr IT Leader” to simply “Sr IT Leader”).

The only issue I have encountered is with existing saved searches that display that role. The column header still displays the old name unless I edit the search to remove and then re-add the role. 

Any solutions that don’t require me to manually go through all saved searches to remove/re-add the subscription role?

Hi ​@BrianK , I just checked in my own workspace, and even though I was pretty sure that it just needed a refresh, it also failed in my own workspace. The subscription names in the facet filters and the table column sidebar were all updated, but the table config was not updated. Even when loading the bookmark from the API, I could still see the old label and virtualKey.

I would consider this a bug that should be reported to LeanIX. But I also found out that you do not need to remove and re-add a table column - all it needs is a position change. So if you move it one column to the left and then back, that’s already all it takes. Maybe there is also a way to do this via the API in a batch mode, but I have not investigated, since I think this should be fixed at the source.

In case you want to create a ticket and point them to the root cause - this is my bookmark’s tableConfig after renaming “Responsible Contact Old” to “Responsible Contact”:

 

            "tableConfig": {
                "columns": [
                    {
                        "factSheetType": "Application",
                        "key": "displayName",
                        "type": "STRING",
                        "editable": false,
                        "sortable": true
                    },
                    {
                        "factSheetType": "Application",
                        "key": "subscriptions",
                        "type": "SUBSCRIPTIONS",
                        "editable": true,
                        "sortable": false,
                        "virtualKey": "RESPONSIBLE:Responsible Contact Old:9564b578-ee8a-4f7f-af34-fb25266f60f7",
                        "label": "Responsible: Responsible Contact Old",
                        "isRelationColumn": false
                    },

    Hi ​@BrianK, this is just a matter of UI caching. If you do a full refresh of the page like ctrl-shift-r in most browsers, it will display the renamed subscription.

    ​@Thomas Schreiner - thank you for the quick suggestion. I performed that in my primary browser, Edge, and it didn’t fix the display name. I also pulled up a saved search in Chrome, performed the hard reset, and same result. 🙁

    ​@Thomas Schreiner - Ahhh, yes… repositioning the column is easier than removing/re-adding. I have opened a bug ticket and included what you found regarding the loading of the bookmark from the API. Thank you!
