Rename List Folders

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.

This a closed beta that comes with the delivery of our consolidated list experience. We will be rolling this functionality out to customers over the next few months and portals are migrated to this platform. There is a lot of exciting functionality that comes along with it. This functionality includes custom object filters, a unified folder experience for Contact and Company Lists, Ticket filters, and more.

A workaround is to create a new folder with the desired name, then move the lists from the old folder to the new one and finally delete the old folder. But still, it takes too much time for someting really simple.

Totally agree, it's crazy that such a basic and intuitive thing is not possible.

I'm actually very surprised that we can't do this. Not sure what the hold up with providing this functionality.

Agreed - very frustrating and surely a fairly basic thing to implement given that you can rename pretty much every other asset in Hubspot!

If mfrankjohnson is going to +1, darn it I'm going to +1 too. 

This drives me crazy on the da-- well, actually I avoid organizing my folders because I don't have time. 

 

I have a list folder called "review for deletion." That's a folder of lists we may not need anymore.

 

I have a list folder called "candidates for deletion". That's a folder of lists of contacts I'm considering for manual deletion. I hate that this can't be solved in half a second like it darn well should. 


Inconsistencies (pointed out by another user) between different tools within HubSpot really make it harder to pick up, and degrade my sense of trust and confidence in the platform.

yes please! And also totally agree with this: 
"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"

This is needed! And for Workflow folders.

I give this a +1 too. Can't understand why this isn't a standard feature.
