Attempting to rename alias (incorrectly) breaks associated rules in v2.3.3
-
If you attempt to rename an alias in v2.3.3, and specify a name that contains more than 32 characters, pfSense will kick back an error stating that the alias name must be less than 32 characters. If you then shorten the name, and hit save, then apply, the alias name is changed, however not the associated rules.
All of the rules that relied on the alias are now broken; changing the alias name back to it's original will resolve the issue.

But if you rename the alias correctly on the first try (without the input error), it does update the rules?
Or is it not updating for you in either case and the error condition isn't relevant?
-
Normal rename appears to work fine.

OK, so there is still a bug there, but only for the case when input errors happen first: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7394

See pull request https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/3694 for a fix.
