ren

Rename a property on a thing.

While almost all functions on things are also available on Type instances, this one is not. This is because a Type instance has a fixed set of properties and so you are not allowed to rename one of them on a single instance. Use mod_type() instead, to rename the property on all instances if this is what you want.

This function generates a change.

Function

thing.ren(old, new)

Arguments

Argument Type Description
old str (required) Name of the property to rename.

Return value in JSON format
