NetBrain currently offers no mechanism to update Automated Data Tables (ADTs) or Network Intents that reference a device hostname once that hostname has changed. When a hostname is renamed, any ADT or Intent tied to the prior hostname becomes invalid, and administrators must manually recreate the affected objects rather than update the existing reference. This enhancement would introduce a refactoring capability that allows ADT and Intent definitions to be updated to reflect a renamed hostname while preserving the underlying logic and configuration. Customers who periodically rename devices would benefit from reduced administrative effort and avoid the risk of losing established automation work.
