Rename modifiers?

Hi, is there any way to rename modifiers on an object? For instance, this DVD shelf divider that I made, I'm modifying it with color changes, and embedded text. However, the Text layers stay named based on the Text I first typed into them, and I'd love to change it to a more descriptive name like “Text - Front Genre” or similar. Same for all of the various “Generic-Box”es, so I can easily tell what they actually do.

Just double click on them from the list on the right.  That allows you to rename any of them.

@Neophyl, double-clicking does not appear to work for me. I'm running v 2.9.2 on macOS, if that makes a difference.

However, I restarted the PrusaSlicer app, and now it gives me the option to Rename when I right-click on a modifier shape, which I would swear it did not before. Perhaps I missed it, in my frustration.

Right-clicking does not give me the option to rename the Text modifiers, but when I reloaded the `.3mf` file, it did then change their name to reflect the current text in the field. Which I suppose is something, but not exactly what I want. (I have multiple instances of the same exact text, so I'd like to rename it to designate where on the object a specific Text modifier lives.)

So this is what I have now. I still wish I could rename the text modifiers, but it's marginally better.
