Module name invalid?

[TheWennerWoman]

Hello,

I am trying to rename a module from Module3 to old_world_detailed_journal_409045 and it won't let me, says it's an invalid name.

I've Googled everywhere and can find plenty on naming conventions but very little on what is and isn't allowed (except the module name can't exceed 256 characters which this doesn't).

Any thoughts appreciated.

The module name is limited to 31 characters.

If you need a reference for that you will find one here:

Thanks both.

Microsoft Learn seems to say 255 characters unless I'm reading it wrong

The link you provided #4 does not apply to the Module itself, only the contents of the module.

The link I provided #3 applies to the module:
