Change Interface Name

Is there a way to change interface OPT1 to WAN?
Back story: I needed to run 2 WAN interfaces for an ISP switch over with no downtime and I was doing this remote so I ran 2 WAN connections during the switch. Now I'd like OPT1 to replace the original WAN interface. Any thoughts? BTW: I'd like to make sure all the configuration on OPT1 is not lost and moved as well: NAT (in/outbound), Firewall Rules, IPSec Tunnels, etc…

What exactly does not work with "Interfaces - Assign"?

Just set the OPT1 gateway as default. They're just names. Are you getting rid of the current WAN in the future? If you absolutely have to have the current OPT as WAN for some reason, you could save the config, modify manually or on a test system, then restore the config.

Thanks dotdash - I've already updated the default gateway and disabled the WAN interface as that connection will be going away at the end of the month. I did consider modifying the config as you suggest, I was just wondering if there was a quicker and easier solution. It's not really a big deal other than some minor GUI implications; some things default to the WAN interface or nothing if WAN is disabled.
