Rename an option

Specific example:

I have a category labeled 'Bath Bombs'.

 

Inside that category, I have an option set that describes each bath bomb.


One of my bath bombs was initially entered as 'Dragon Egg'.

 

Since then, we now have a Large and Small Dragon Egg.

 

I would like the option to rename the option 'Dragon Egg' to 'Dragon Egg, Small'.  Same item, just a different name.

 

Is it possible to do that now, without creating a whole new option?

I don't want to rename the category.  I want to rename one of the options under the category.

 

In this instance, the category is 'Bath Bombs'.  I don't want to rename that.

 

I want to rename the option, 'Dragon Egg' to 'Dragon Egg, Half'.

As mentioned the first time you replied, I am not looking to rename a category.  I am looking to rename an option within a category.  At the moment, it does not appear to be able to do that.  Any attempt to rename creates a whole new option, which is then tracked separately.  

 

The same problem exists if you try to correct spelling errors within the options.

That video says absolutely nothing about changing an option or variation name.  It tells you how to create one, and of course you can create a name at that point.  You cannot change the name once it has been created.
