I have cloned the default option and got the machine name as "clone_of_default". When I renamed it to something else and saved, it won't change. The machine name is always shows as "clone_of_default"

That's a ctools thing. Nothing I can do about it. Best way would be to export it and rename it in code.

Hello

Although you can't edit the the optionset machine name, the name textfield can be editable, so it is a bit annoying for users, given that they can edit the textfield, but changes are not stored.

So, I propose mark as disabled the machine name textfield when you're editing the optionset. With this change, users are aware of they can't edit the machine name.

Thank you!

This looks like a good marginal improvement. It would be nice if we filed an issue against ctools too, so that a new machine name could be chosen when cloning items.

Makes sense to me. I'll include this in the next release.
