Renaming a workunit with WAAPI

0 votes
I'm trying to rename an existing WorkUnit using WAAPI. We're using WWISE 2023.1.11 and have enabled Perforce integration. According to the 2023.1 release notes issue WG-39278 was resolved, allowing work units to be deleted, moved and renamed. If I try to rename using `ak.wwise.core.object.set` I get the error "Can't rename this object."

If I create a new WorkUnit with the desired name, move all existing children to the new WorkUnit then attempt to delete the old WorkUnit I get a different error related to being unable to complete the source control operation. I suspect this is because the `.wwu` file is checked out and Perforce doesn't support marking it for delete.

I can rename the WWU using `ak.wwise.core.sourceControl.move` which prompts a reload of the project and the WorkUnit appears correctly in the UI, but within the WWU file it still shows the old name.
