Renaming Custom Objects

[MatthewBoyd]

Hi Team,

Currently it is impossible to rename a custom object once created. Even via the API. 

Can we please please PLEASE have this opened up?

Thanks

Hey Matthew,

+1 ✌️ — we totally agree with you.

Renaming objects would be very helpful indeed.

Kind regards

Hi there! I was able to change the name of a custom object via the API, sending a PATCH. You should change the labels and name:

{

"labels": {

"singular": "New Name",

"plural": "New Names"

},

"name": "newname"

}

Hey ! 

We can rename by making a patch to the object schema.

curl --location -g --request PATCH 'https://api.hubapi.com/crm/v3/schemas/{{OBJECT-_D}}?hapikey={{HUBSPOT_API_KEY}}' --data-raw '{

"labels": {

"singular": "new singular name",

"plural": "new plural name"

},

"name": "newName"

}'

Fantastic news, thanks for the follow up @LLamas and @leilaybanez! It was only a matter of time 🙂

Will this update changes the name of associations also?

Hello!
Can you create the option for us to rename custom objects after they are created, please?

Desperately needing this. We are having custom objects developped by a partner so we're using English for development, however the team who is working with these objects is German only. It would be super useful to be able to rename custom objects so I can have the name translated after development has been completed.

So many great points on here why this is needed.  It is extremely common to start development on custom objects before the names are clearly defined by the business.  I understand the concern with integrations breaking, however there should be an override that allows you to change the name after you've done your own checks.

Thank you in advance to the smart person that fixes this 🙂
