Collections in a Custom Component can be renamed.

What isn’t obvious is exactly what the mechanism is.

I havefoundi t to be a bit of a black art and various clicking on the name eventually allows one to change it. 😉

It needs to be easier or more obvious as to how it is done.

It _should_ work exactly the same as the finder, so once the row is highlighted it’s a single click (or press Return).

Hope that helps!
