No. When renaming things in ActiveCampaign, you may see different behavior depending on which platform feature you're changing.

However, in other instances, like when renaming Custom Field Options, you must manually change that custom field value in each Contact and every segment condition using that field value in your account.

Links in a campaign

If you update a link in a campaign, it is not reflected in the rest of your ActiveCampaign account. Instead, a new object for the updated link is generated, and all segment conditions, etc., will still reference the previous URL. All platform areas using the old URL need to be manually changed to use the new URL.
