It would be realllllly nice if we could rename list folders. Right now I keep having to make new child folders with different names and transferring all of the sublists into that folder, instead of a simple rename.

I agree! It’s a small thing, but it’s so frustrating when you need it!

Cripes yes.

Does my nut that the different HS list/folder managers are not the same - and I can’t rename list folders!

Agree!

This is so simple. One cannot always anticipate the use of a new folder and may need to change the name as clarification is made on how the new folder, and the lists contained therein, will be used. Hubspot please add this intuitive capability! Thank you.

How is this not possible? It’s little things like this that make working in Hubspot so frustrating.

The organization within marketing, templates and sequences are all over the map.

Some let you rename, some let you create subfolders, some don’t have folders at all… absolutely no rational UI design and wacked…

I found out how to rename the folder! Check the box on the left of the folder. Then at the top gives you the option to rename or delete

I’m amazed that renaming the list folder is not possible. What would be affected if a folder is renamed? Please let us know. I am new to HubSpot and previously a Pardot user. I found the logic of HubSpot is so different from Pardot or Marketo, and makes me wonder why so? Also HubSpot onboard lacks good training so that the transition from Pardot/Marketo is painful to our team.

Definitely need to add this feature! Naming conventions change sometimes where we have to change all folders, or just a simple change…let’s make it happen!

100% yes I am running into this issue today! all labels should be editable for sure! ALSO It would be good if when you go to workflows/folders/emails those organized into folders are not in the list on the main screen too! makes sorting hard when you dont know which ones are in folders already and which are not
