Server Info (please complete the following information):

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Browser: Firefox 111.0.1 (64-bit)
RMM Version (as shown in top left of web UI): v0.15.9

Installation Method:

Standard
Docker

Agent Info (please complete the following information):

Agent version (as shown in the 'Summary' tab of the agent from web UI): Agent v2.4.6
Agent OS: Windows 11 Pro, 64 bit v21H2 (build 22000.1335)

Describe the bug
This is from feature request #1486. Renaming a community script does not rename the script in Automation Manager > Tasks. See this comment for details.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a community script and edit the community_scripts.json to match.
Import the community scripts.
Verify the new script is in the script manager.
Add the new script to an automation policy. This is what most people do with community scripts.
Rename the script name. This is not about the filename.
Import the community scripts.
Wait for the system processes to update the script name in all places; it's not automatic.
Check the names in automation policy. The script check name will be updated but the task name will not.

Expected behavior
The script name in the task is updated to the new name.

Screenshots
See this comment for screenshots.

Additional context
When working on scripts with similar names, it's almost impossible to determine which script is associated with a task. Script checks are renamed and easy to find.

8. The script check name will be updated but the task name will not.

Do you mean the actual name of the task under "Tasks"...isn't that manually set via text, and not pulled from the community script script name (like in "Checks"

Screenshot of Script Manager for a script that was imported. Notice the dotted lines around the fields.

Here's the corresponding JSON.

  {
    "guid": "3ab68e9f-bd3f-403e-97e9-3293d803fb35",
    "filename": "scripts/test-arg-params-issue-1345.ps1",
    "submittedBy": "https://github.com/NiceGuyIT",
    "name": "Test command line arguments for issue 1345",
    "description": "Test apostrophe in description",
    "syntax": "",
    "args": [
      "-agentDescription1={{agent.description}}",
      "-agentDescription2 {{agent.description}}"
    ],
    "default_timeout": 90,
    "shell": "powershell",
    "supported_platforms": [],
    "category": ""
  }

Add the script to Automation manager as both a check and task. Make sure they are both synced and have run.

Note: This is the name the user gives to the task, not the name of the script.

Now let's change the script name. Here's the new JSON.

  {
    "guid": "3ab68e9f-bd3f-403e-97e9-3293d803fb35",
    "filename": "scripts/test-arg-params-issue-1345.ps1",
    "submittedBy": "https://github.com/NiceGuyIT",
    "name": "Renamed for issue 1489",
    "description": "Test apostrophe in description",
    "syntax": "",
    "args": [
      "-agentDescription1={{agent.description}}",
      "-agentDescription2 {{agent.description}}"
    ],
    "default_timeout": 90,
    "shell": "powershell",
    "supported_platforms": [],
    "category": ""
  }

New name is showing in Script Manager.

New name is showing in the check when viewing the agent.

As stated above, this name is provided by the user, not the system.

Automation manager shows the new name for the check.

Automation manager shows the old name when viewing the script attached to the task. This is the only place the new name is not updated.

Do you mean the actual name of the task under "Tasks"...isn't that manually set via text, and not pulled from the community script script name (like in "Checks"

When you attach a script to a task, several properties like the script name, arguments, etc. from the script are attached to the task. I'm under the assumption that if community script was updated, the update would flow down into the scripts attached to tasks. Otherwise you would have no idea what version of the script is attached to a task.

Hope that helps!
