You must call manage_renameObject on the object *container*, passing the old name and the new name. Something like this:

object = result[1] container = object.aq_parent container.manage_renameObject(object.id, object.id.lower())

Thanks Gabriel. I did exactly as you suggested, but ran into this error : ///////////////////////////////////////////////// The id "begin" is invalid - it is already in use. ///////////////////////////////////////////////// "Begin" is the first activity. It could be some reserved word within OpenFlow or Zope - not really sure. In any case, I tried skipping it, but ran into another error message saying : /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The object RECEIPT_OF_SOURCE_DOCUMENTS does not support this operation. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// My code looks like this : //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / wf = container.GeneralWorkflow catalog = wf.Catalog results = catalog.ZopeFind(wf, obj_metatypes=['Activity'], search_sub=1) for result in results: print result[1].id if result[1].id <> 'Begin': object = result[1] container = object.aq_parent container.manage_renameObject(object.id, object.id.lower()) return printed //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / Regards, Danny
