Renaming only Tier 2 (or Tier 1 and Tier 2) Operational Categorization, Product Categorization, or Support Group Foundation data if the child tiers are selected. | Ensure that you do not rename Tier 2 when you have selected the child tiers.
If you rename Tier 2 when the child tiers are selected, the rename creates duplicate entries after the Foundation data is copied to BMC Helix Platform.
