Is it possible to change a macro name?

[Pedro Pacheco]

I have a connect app for confluence cloud, I was wondering if it is possible to change a macro name (ac:name): 

<ac:structured-macro ac:name="macro-name" ac:schema-version="1" ac:macro-id="macro-id">

.............................

</ac:structured-macro>

I want the macros of the app A to be migrated to my app B. So the idea was to change the names of the macros from app A to the name of the macros from app B so they can be rendered when using app B. 

I didn't find any information about this being possible, has anyone ever attempted to do something similar or is this even possible?

Short answer - no.  Macro names are encoded by the app (plugin) that provides the macro.  You need to use the unique name of the macro to call it.

If however, you mean you want to use a different macro, say replacing my-macro-1 with bobs-macro-34 in all your content, then you do have some options.  They are all "search and replace" though - either by downloading the raw content and doing it with a text editor, or using a scripting app to do it.
