😀Hello All!  
I want to change object’s name directly with GHpython.  
I tried this but failed, after I run this the name didn’t change in rhino:

```auto
import scriptcontext as sc
import Rhino as rh
sc.doc = rh.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc
obj = sc.doc.Objects.Find(id)
obj.Attributes.Name = "ChangedName"
sc.doc = ghdoc

```

can ghpython achieve this function? That would be very helpful to me.

Hello - it looks like you need to add

`obj.CommitChanges()`
