I have renamed a DocType by going to setup - > customize → doctype

I have clicked on title at top and renamed it . But after renaming it get disappeared from the module .

Like if I rename Products Bundle to Package setup . I couldn’t find it in Sales module anymore . Please help .

Thanks

@inventobd please don’t rename doctypes. Doctype names are hard coded in the system code at places. Like in your case the Doctype name is still Product Bundle in the code in config/selling.py hence it does not show up in the selling module. It might be accessible via the awesome bar

@neilLasrado

Thanks for your quick response . But I don’t want to rename it . I just want to change the label . As I have searched in forum I have seen several people said it possible . As I saw its also available in customize section that’s why I tried . How can I change the label / name of any doc-type so user can understand it well ? Is it possible ? Please help

Can you change the name back to Customer?

I did a bench update and it seemed to fix it… though the few customers I had are gone now.
