Renaming prefab in scene keeps prefab connection

[AggrorJorn]

I have these simple node prefabs that I place in the scene (simply called Node). I need to rename them in order to clearly know which node it is (Node_1, Node_2), but renaming them breakes the prefab connection. It would be a 'nice to have' feature when renaming a prefab in the scene does not break the connection.

If I do this, then if an object's name in the model changes, the prefab will not be updated.

Does it search the objects in the scene by name?

[Josh]

No.  So that might be the thing we want to do.  I'm just saying, that is the choice that must be made.

Thanks for the reply. I had hoped it would be a property like the rotation or position that could simply be excluded from the ignore process.

It can be.  I need to think about whether that is what we want.  It probably makes sense to do it like you suggest.
