Ability to rename models

Currently, when you create a model, you can't rename it. If you make a mistake or if your data model semantics change, you need to create a new model, port all your content to it, and delete the old one, which is impractical. Would be much better to be able to rename any model.

    Hi all! This is now available via a new field called "Model Display Name" within a model. You are now able to change what name is displayed for that model.

    Second this idea. We have so many builder models now that it's been getting out of control to organize this. We really need a feature that will allow us to better organize our models on the front end. .

    I would vote just just being able to change the label, or human friendly name, and expose the slug as a readonly change.


    API consumers have to refer the to the model slug in their code, so being able to rename the slug could unexpectly break peoples code.
