How can we rename screens other than Screen1?

How can we rename screens? We all know that we cannot rename Screen1, but, can we rename the other screens? If yes, then how do we?

I don't understand this. Can you please kindly explain?

That's not a problem, but can we rename the other screens?

Renaming screens

While you can't rename screens directly, you can simulate it starting with nb184 (July 30, 2020). Starting with the nb184 release, you can copy the contents of a screen and paste them into another screen. So if you want to rename Screen1 to Screen2, for example, open Screen1, press Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Mac) to copy. Create a new screen, Screen2, and press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) to paste the content from Screen1. Then, go back to Screen1 and delete the content.

but other screens can be deleted.

thank you!

[RamNaresh]

As you can not delete the Screen1, but you can make it a dummy screen, and this is how you can make other screen as default or welcome screen as well. Now here app will open with DataValidationScreen not with the Screen1.
