Why are we unable to rename variants?

EDIT - Sorry, it looks like you can rename variants, but only if you create them via the right-click menu. If you drag a prefab from the scene, into the project window, and create a variant that way, the name becomes locked.

This seems like an arbitrary distinction, and it should probably be changed.

In any case, it's great that we can modify the names and actually use this feature now

 

It's not meant to ever be locked. If you can file a bug report with repro steps (and repro project unless you can repro it in a new empty project), that would be very helpful to us.

 

Huh, I can't seem to reproduce anymore. If I figure out what was going on I'll let you know!

Also thank you for this feature! It's amazing and brings Unity itself to the next level in terms of scalability. 10/10, you guys absolutely nailed the implementation.
