Hi all,

In Portal 4.2, when you make a copy of a portlet, a pop-up window comes up, 
asking you to give a new name to the new copy of the portlet.

In WPS 5.0.2, there is no longer a pop-up window. It simply goes ahead makin
g a new copy with the same portlet name under an auto generated new concrete
 portlet application.

I have verified this in both IE 6.0 and Mozilla 1.6 (thought it might be a B
rowser problem.)

This is a serious problem as: if you want to make a large number of copies o
f the same portlet, and place them in different pages, you will have a HARD 
time to figure out what concrete portlet you are dealing with.

If this is by design, that's a really BAD change. The WPS 4 behaviour is wha
t users need.

Any advice or solution is appreciate.

Thanks much!

Edit the Portlet to change its name

Thanks for the reply.  But how? In the "Manage Portlets", you only have five
 options to deal with portlet: Activate/Deactivate, Copy, Modify Parameters,
 Show Info, and Delete. None of them allows you to change the portlet name.

By the way, I am NOT looking to change the portlet name during the developme
nt stage. That's just too restricted. It's much more flexible to be able to 
make copies of portlets and place them on pages at the runtime.

Thanks.
Bing.

Bing,
you can set the title for the portlet you copied in "Modify Parameters"
