I have a mod file where I copied the Command Center (Flying) unit. When I tried to rename the copy, the name of the original unit also changes to the name of the copy. When I tried to rename the original unit, the name of the copy also changes to the name of the original unit. The IDs do not have the problem; they remain unique. I thought it could be a bug, so I restarted the editor, but it did not help. How do I "unlink" the name changes?
I actually recently encountered this issue. It was a pain to fix though, so it all depends on how dedicated you are to fixing it, or if you want to just delete and clone again.
Anyway, the issue lies in the field. Somehow sometimes it can get links to another field (im guess usually by copy paste means). Ayway, double check the unit's ID, and also the name field. Make sure the name isn't set to something like Unit/Terran/ID or Unit/Terran/OriginalCommandCenterID
Also click the unit and press enter to pull up the initial values. See if the default values are set to some other unit. and not the default CUnit.

Thank you so much. The text key in Unit: Name was set to the original unit ID; I had change it to match the ID of my copied unit.
@FDFederation: Go You're welcome :)
