Bug #9629
Can't rename anything anymore via Knowledge Base
100%
Description
The patch notes for 1.1.2 said you can't use the knowledge base to rename kerbals anymore. What they don't mention is you can't use it to rename anything else either! In 1.1.1 I could double-click the name of a vessel in the Info panel in the Tracking Station to rename it or change its type, but this doesn't work anymore.
There is now no way that I can find to rename or reclassify certain objects. If it has a command module of some kind, you can Fly the vessel and right-click the command module to rename it that way, but other objects cannot be renamed, nor have their type changed (e.g. from Debris to Station). This can be a significant issue if you want to, say, put a fuel tank up in orbit. Normally you would change its type from Debris to something else so it'll show up in the Tracking Station, but now you can't.

Updated by I didn't see a way to + 1 this, but I'd like to see this feature or something similar fixed/added back. I loved the ability to rename/reclass multiple vessels in a quick fashion. This is especially important when launching larger satellite networks (RemoteTech is the most awesome mod). I may need to adjust the naming scheme on 10+ satellites, or decommission an entire ring of satellites and loading each satellite individually is slow,tedious and cumbersome.

Yep, but only if it has a Command part.

Only if it has a functional command part.
I have a derelict ship which is just a command part, and I can't rename it without putting a Kerbal back inside it.

I think this is fixed in 1.1.3:
...
- Fixed being unable to rename vessels via Knowledge Base.
...
I have not tested the fix as of yet.
