running OH5.0.1 on docker.
nor sure, if this came with 5.0 oder with 5.0.1, but personally I find it annoying, that a change in theGroup Name for the items is changed “on the fly”. What do I mean?
My use case is as follows:
- adding a new thing with a bunch of channels.
- save some time by “adding equipment to model”
- change the Group Name to some short stuff, because I do have loads of items and I want short prefixes to have a quick overview to what device the item belongs
- click “select all” (or at least more than a handful)
- rename the Group Name to a longer name, because I want the group name to be more than a short prefix
so now ALL(!) the items get that new prefix plus the channel names. Before it was easy: the prefix was pulled from the group name only with the “select” action. now - and that’s annoying! - the group name has a live trigger to the prefix.
Is there some really good reason for that? So, now I do have two options left (both time consuming):
- create the group with the short prefix, then create another group with my desired name and move all items to the new group, delete the short name group after
- iterate manually through each and every item in the “select” list and change manually the prefix to the desired short version.
both are very annoying.
