When you say "trying to rename itself", I assume you mean that the manage_renameObject call below is actually done in a method of 'white_wine's ZClass. manage_renameObject should actually be called on the ObjectManager that contains white_wine. You could probably do: <dtml-call "PARENTS[1].manage_renameObject(id, _.string.replace(REQUEST['name_singular'],'', '_'))"> (Not sure about those last couple parameters.... my main point was just that tacking a PARENTS[1] onto the beginning could fix it.)

When trying to do this in a method of a ZClass instance called 'white_wine', which is trying to rename itself: <dtml-call "manage_renameObject(id,_.string.replace(REQUEST['name_singular'],' ','_'))">

I get the following error: ########################################################################### ##
