How to Edit "Worksheet Name" in Spotlight Preferences

[TBiggerstaffLPG]

Hey there,

I made some custom lighting device parameters for a show and when I edit the name of the parameter the "worksheet name" doesn't change.  Lightwright wont recognize any files with a ":" character so I want to change the worksheet name of all my lighting device parameters.

Both the "name" and "worksheet name" need to change in order to export correctly. 

is this possible?

Can you not delete the Custom Parameter and remake it?

You can, that will set me back several hours so was hoping for a way to edit it instead.

The worksheet name is not modifiable. It is the internal name used by Vectorworks.
Once the field is created that name needs to be maintained.

What I would do is create the new field.
Use Spotlight Find and Modify to copy the data from the old field to the new field.
Delete the old field.
It should be a quick operation but requires a few steps.
