Hi:  
I created an add-on using “jpm sign” and want to rename it through AMO website. However, it is not letting me save my change (I can click “Save Changes”, but nothing actually got changed).

 ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/mozilla/original/2X/d/db15b8831fe390db1cba1dc50d3fd72d398ac328.png)  
I then tried changing the name fields in my package.json and upload a new version using “jpm sign”, and it still didn’t change anything.

So can someone please tell me if there is a way of renaming my add-on.

Thanks

You have to rename it in your package.json as well and upload a new version

I tried that, still not changing the name though.  
Anyway, I resolved the issue by deleting the project and creating a new one with a new name but the same add-on id.

Thanks
