Hello,  
I have a dataset that is named p is it possible to rename it differently?  
the only workaround that I found to do these is to use calculator, but this will copy the dataset with another name instead of simply replacing the name. any solution for this?

best regards,

This is the right way to go, you can remove the old one using PassArrays filter if you want.
