Is it possible to make some items like Device Group names change dynamically across the LM system once changed at the Devices tab? While the use of glob expressions certainly adds intricacy and customization, it is currently quite a headache to have to change every widget, alert rule, et al. that are tied to a group name that has been changed. An example is: A client of mine adds a word to their name, and we decide to reflect that in our Device group naming. Upon editing the group name, the 10 alert rules and 20 widgets that specifically reference that group break, and require individual edits after the fact. A more concerning example would be if one of our engineers makes a mistake and adds an erroneous character to a device name while editing a property. Until someone catches it, alert rules are then broken.
