      Hi all,

      Creating an alias, let's say test1, works as expected.

      Renaming that alias to test_1 correctly updates the rules (they show the new alias as used, popup when hovering over the alias's name shows addresses assigned to it), and correctly creates a test_1 entry under Diagnostics>Table.

      The problem is that the old test1 alias is still listed in the tables dropdown, containing addresses. So, the drop down shows both: test1 and test_1.Shouldn't test1 be deleted from the dropdown? Why does it still contain values?

        Normally pf would flush that out the next time the rules are (re)loaded. If no rules reference it, it's not really hurting anything though.

          Just checked, and yes, the old entries were indeed removed. Thank you.
