Description

The Group Name is stored directly in the config of firewall rules, OpenVPN interface selection (and elsewhere...?). When the Group Name is changed, it is not changed in the associated rules and interface selections, so they become invalid.
It would be handy if all the references in the config where updated automagically.
Perhaps the real key of a Gateway Group should be an underlying generated string never seen on the GUI (gwg1, gwg2 etc) and that could be stored in the config entries, and and translated to the current Group Name for display. That way the user-selected group name can change any time in just 1 place.
