Description: Hello, I wrote a library that can fill odt files with content. Therefor I work with the object ids or object names of text boxes and other elements. Table ids are easy to edit by right click and properties, but for example textbox ids are difficult to find. I use the tabbed bar and have to show the menu first, then select "Format" and open the "Name" dialogue. It would be great if the name would be visible in the properties sidebar or a dialogue window, accessible via "Right-click". Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a textbox in a document. 2. In tabbed view, choose the "Menubar" icon. 3. Select the box and click on "Format" 4. Select "Name" from the menu. Actual Results: A quite difficult way to change the name of a box. Expected Results: A easier way via Right-click or the properties sidebar. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:

I can see text boxes in the navigator in the sidebar (drawing objects). Does this information solve your problem?

I tried out the navigator, but there is no way to rename the item there. I tried it with some shapes and text boxes. I can select them there, pop down the menu, select "Format" - "Name" and then the name can be changed. I see a few possibilities there: A right click menu point "Rename" which pops open the rename dialog or something similar would be helpful. Thanks, bye

If that was implemented, it would be great! My report here can be closed then. Thank you.
