How to Remove or Rename Types/Relations in the library

[igorlvicente]

While adding a relation to an object, I accidentally created 3 relations with the same name.

Now there are 3 equal relations in the library. So when I want to add the same relation to another type, I can’t figure out, from the dropbox, which one is the correct one.

How can I remove or rename the duplicate relations?

Hey @igorlvicente,
renaming or removing of relations isn’t possible yet.

@Flip Do you have a clear time-line on when this functionality will be implemented? I see 2 relations named Artist (which are created by Human Anytype) out of the box .

Flip will probably mention a similar message: Relations are being reworked in the coming release cycles. Removing and renaming should therefore be part of one of the upcoming releases, but there is no official ETA.

• Remove From Library
  Hover over Relation/Type>Click Remove
  

  

• Delete/Uninstall
  Open Relation/Type Template in Library>Reveal Menu>Click Delete
  

  

• Rename/Modify
  Open Relation/Type Template in Library>Edit whatever you want to change

While it tells me that I can’t edit the relation being deleted once I have deleted it, I still can on objects which already had the relation

I’m not 100% on this, but I think this might be the distinction between Remove vs Delete.

Remove takes it out of the Library, while Delete trashes it ubiquitously across Anytype.
