Can you share a clone link to your app? I’m not entirely sure what you’re doing there with slots.

First time using this feature I’m having the same problem: cannot rename the slot at all. Was just following the tutorial.
Tried Safari and Chrome.

If you could follow the same advice as was originally requested, please give a clone link or code snippet so we can have more context. I have personally been able to change the slot_name, so it’s probably an edge case where this happens that we need context to determine and help fix.

Create new app
Choose Rally
Make form a layout
Drag slot into form
Change name of slot, press enter twice
Boom

Thanks for the steps
We’ll let you know when we’ve shipped a fix

For now I think, after you’re done renaming, you can selecting the main form, rather than hitting enter.

Edit: this should now be fixed
