How to change the type name of form

[simsee]

I have some doubts about how to correctly change the type name (i.e. class name) of a form (for example, the default name TForm1 when opening a new project). In the past, if I remember correctly, I simply used the "Rename Identifier" function in the "Refactoring" menu, but now, with the latest version of Lazarus, I get a run time error (EResNotFound: Form Resource not found ...) . Therefore I am forced to update the corresponding .lfm file by hand. Is there a quicker (and perhaps correct) way? It seems to me that this problem did not exist in the past. Has something changed? I apologize for the trivial question. Thanks in advance.

In the Object Inspector, change the Name property of the form. The IDE will then rename your form class to TYourName (if you entered YourName as name).

Thanks PascalDragon. I knew this possibility. Although I know that the following would not respect common naming conventions, I wanted to understand if there was a smarter way than the one I described to get DifferentFormName: TFormName.

So you really want to change the name of the variable for the form instance?

Select the identifier in the code editor, and use the Source > Refactoring > Rename Identifier menu option. Verify that the new identifier name is also used in your project file (.lpr).
