Duplicating a symbol in a new library, name is not updated

Schematic Library Symbols
1

hello all,

happy new year.

Today I have observed that when I duplicate a symbol in the same library to obtain a new symbol, despite all changes have been made to the duplicated symbol, the name property remains that of the original symbol. The only workaround is to manually change the name editing the library with a text editor. The library is, of course, a newly created library.

I opened a new issue here:

I think you may have forgotten to change the pin name in the pin table . . .

+1 for the “forgotten pin renaming”.
Power symbols have some special requirements, see section " Creating Power Symbols" in the manual Schematic Editor | 7.0 | English | Documentation | KiCad.

yes, you’re right! :slight_smile: I missed the pin table.

Thank you and sorry for the noise.
