Archicad 19 bug - renaming Layout subset folder doesnt save!

Anonymous
Not applicable
In the Layout palette, if you right click on a subfolder and click "rename" and then give the subfolder a new name, it will rename the subfolder but if you then close the project, and reopen it, the name reverts to the original name!

However if you right click on the folder and then go to "subset settings" and rename it in the Custom ID field, and then close the project and then reopen it, the new name is still there so this works!

This caused me no end of confusion! Can it be fixed, thanks.

It seems to me that you are confusing the ID and Name fields of Layouts.

You don't rename a Layout Subset in the Custom ID field. You rename it in the Name field.
