Does anyone else find it slightly annoying not to be able to rename a display state, for example when you make a typo or you change your mind for a name? I realize that it is not hard to create another display state however that requires deleting the old one and going through all drawings and setting the view to the right display state again seems like a lot of work for just a typo.
Has someone found a way to correct things like this? Is it a none Issue for most of you? I realize that a display state is somewhat of a snapshot so does that mean that editing the name should not be allowed by good computer coding standards. Named views are the same.
I will submit an improvement request if no one has a good solution to this.

especially when you have a bunch of drawing views to update just for a simple name change.
I do this from time to time, I accidentally create a display state for 'shipping' and 'install' but got it backwards and had to go back and do it again.
