Unable to change variable name

Hello everyone. I'm working on LV and I have created a project. In this project I have a library of the variables that I use in a certain VI. The problem is that I can't change the name of the variables that are already created. 

I searched info about this and found that this is common if you have the library apart the project, but in my case I have the library with the variables in the same project is the VI I need to update. 

I also tryed to change the name accesing to CITADEL DB but I couldn't anyway. Does anyone have an idea about how to solve?

Thanks in advance.

You probably need to be a bit more specific because the term "variable" can mean many things.

This is what I mean with "Variable".
A variable created directly from the project and moved to the VI, in this case to "Almacenamiento.vi".

Any idea?

The "picture" is not at all helpful.  We cannot "see" the variable, cannot "see" inside the VI you created, and cannot "see" inside all (or any!) of the VIs in the Library.

 

If you remove the Library from the Project, is the Variable OK?  If you delete the Variable in your VI, and put in a new Variable with a new name not used in the Library, does it work?

 

If you seriously want help, you will need to provide us access to the entire Project, including the Library (I can understand you might not want to do that ...).  You should know that many of the more-experienced users of the Forum don't have the latest version(s) of LabVIEW installed, but most of us can read LabVIEW 2019 or 2021 files.
