[5.x]: Unable to change field handle for a global field

[joshwalsh]

What happened?

Description

When I add an existing field to a global, I am unable to change the fieldHandle.

Steps to reproduce

1. Take an existing field, in my case is an asset field, and drag it into the field layout within a globals section.
2. Save that globals section, successfully.
3. Click the "..." next to that asset field and give it a new contentHandle. (It doesn't matter what you change it to)
4. Click "Apply"... looks successful
5. Click Save on the global page.
6. Met with InvalidFieldException

Expected behavior

This should give the instance of the field the desired name, as it does correctly in Entry Types.

Actual behavior

Throws above exception.

Hi, thanks for reaching out!

Could you please confirm a few things?

• When you say “the field layout within a globals section”, do you mean Control Panel > Settings > Globals > ?
• Are you trying to change the field’s handle or name?
• Assuming you’re trying to change the handle, what’s the current value, and what are you changing it to? (if it’s the name you’re changing, then could you share the name values)
• Please share the list of installed plugins and versions as well as the database driver and version

Not able to reproduce that on my end. Any chance you can send your database backup and Composer files into [email protected] so we can test with your site?
