Renaming data types with "no more manual refactoring"

Database & APIs

When I got this email:

I assumed it meant I could rename my data types without combing through my pages to replace every use of the old name with the new name.

That doesn't seem to be correct.

Not only did it not rename the instances where I used the old name to the new name, it didn't trigger any errors, so I assumed everything was OK and proceed to build on top of the changes. I've now had to revert the project to before the changes as it will take too long to manually refactor all the changes.

Has anyone else gotten this feature to work as described? Or maybe I'm misinterpreting what this feature is all about.

What have you tried so far?

Rename data types in my existing app.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
