      Hi,

      if I rename a alias that is used in firewall rules instead of rename that alias in all affected rules I get an error that sounds like this: "Unresolvable source alias 'AliasName' for rule 'Rule with AliasName'
      Is this a Bug or a "Feature"?
      I searched the forum but didn't found anything related to this.
      I'm on pfsense 2.5.0

      Thanks and regards,
      fireodo

        We're aware and tracking it internally.

        We should have a fix shortly which can be applied to 2.5.0/21.02.

          There is a fix in place now.

          You can install the System Patches package and then create an entry for 585e7567d0e308ce440ff1b0651976c97fe58115 to apply the fix.
