Hello,
I need to edit the names of the group addresses in bulk. For example, from group 1/1:
1/1/1 -> LIGHTING - ON/OFF - L01
1/1/2 -> LIGHTING - ON/OFF - L02
and so on...
1/1/100 -> LIGHTING - ON/OFF - L100
Only the object name needs to be changed, without modifying labels or data types.

Do you want to just set names of your object to the rule defined above or modify them?

Run this script once
Code:
-- Bulk rename: 1/1/1 → LIGHTING - ON/OFF - L01 ... 1/1/100 → LIGHTING - ON/OFF - L100
for i = 1, 100 do
local addr = string.format('1/1/%d', i)
local name = string.format('LIGHTING - ON/OFF - L%02d', i)
-- grp.create overwrites an existing object's name without touching
-- its datatype, tags, comment, or value — when you pass only
-- address + name + forcename=true.
local ok, err = grp.create({
address = addr,
name = name,
forcename = true, -- replace the name even if the object already exists
})
if ok then
log(string.format('Renamed %s → "%s"', addr, name))
else
log(string.format('SKIP %s (does not exist or error: %s)', addr, tostring(err)))
end
end
log('Bulk rename complete.')
