FSRM_E_CANNOT_RENAME_PROPERTY

FSRM_E_CANNOT_RENAME_PROPERTY means code attempted to change the name of an existing property definition after it had been committed. The name is the key used by rules, file-management conditions, reports, stored values, and external policy integration.

Create a migration instead of renaming

  • Create a new property definition with the desired name and equivalent type and values.
  • Update rules, jobs, reports, and external consumers to use the new property.
  • Reclassify or copy existing values, then remove the old definition only after all references are gone.

Changing a display description is not the same as changing the property key. A direct rename would make existing values and references ambiguous, so FSRM prohibits it. Preserve the exact case when integrating with systems that treat property names as case-sensitive. Plan the migration as a schema change and verify both old and new values during transition.
