(warning)   Attention

When you change the name of the package in the Retail > Packages, it will be automatically changed in the Management > Subscriptions section as well, even if this package is already assigned. As a result, in the Invoices and Transactions sections, an old name of the package will be specified.

We do not recommend to edit editing the name of an already assigned package inthe Retail > Packages.
