    I just updated to the latest UIToolkit version and i can see that <AttributeOverrides> can't override name of the instantiated UXML anymore. This is worked fine in older version. Is this a bug or why can't we do this anymore?

    Hello,

    This was changed on purpose. The problem is that the name of an element is used to find its overrides. Allowing its name to be changed could lead to unexpected results depending on the order in which overrides are applied.

    This should give a clear warning when the UXML is imported.
