How to set scene name on xcode's storyboard

Question

I am using the CoreDataBooks sample project from Apple to use with the Zucchini automated test framework. I need the view name to use in the coffeescript to manage it like this:

class BooksScreen extends Screen anchor: -> $("navigationBar[name=Authors]")

In this example, the Authors is used to identify the view. I figured in xcode that we have this name after view controller class of each scene, like the New Book scene:

enter image description here

The problem is, I don't know how to set that name, so I can manage it in the coffeescript. How to do this?

You have set the name for view controller in Interface Builder.

Select view controller
Now from menu View->Utilities->Show attributes inspectors
Set view controller title.

in addition, incase still it isn't shown, add Navigation Bar to ViewController: 1. Show attributes->Simulated Metrics->Top Bar 2. Set "Translucent Navigation Bar" or "Opaque Navigation Bar" – Fatih Aksu May 16 '18 at 07:39

In the left hand list double click on the name of the view controller, not the scene name, and rename the view controller, that will also rename the scene.

For me this didn't change the title. `Viewcontroller->attributes inspector->title` worked. – Cerlin Oct 23 '17 at 07:21
Not sure if it ever worked, but doesn't work in the current version. – b005t3r Jun 06 '18 at 12:04

If you double click it, then hit enter, it'll edit it. – craft Oct 19 '18 at 21:37
This worked perfectly for me if you hold the button for a while – Jan 08 '20 at 20:28

You have to click on the name of the view controller and wait. Click very slowly, you have to click and hold for some time. Do not click twice, you only need to click once but it has to be a long click.

If you rename the navigation item it will rename the scene as well. Select the navigation item for the scene you want to rename in the Object Browser on the left, then go to the Attributes inspector on the right and change the Title to the name you want. It will automatically rename the navigation item and the scene.

See screenshot:
