This needs to be done on a browser that you have the Polkadot extension installed on.

Step 1- Navigate here:

Step 2- Hover over “Developer” drop down, then select “Extrinsics”

Step 5- Input your Farm ID in the first box (id: u32), and the new name you want your farm to be named in the second box (name: Bytes). Leave the third box (pricingPolicyId: 32) as “0”.

Step 6- Change the “using the selected account” drop down to “DAKOTA (EXTENSION)”. The other accounts are test accounts and will not work to update your Farm Name with.

hi. I Just tried to rename my farm using the steps outlined, however, in Step 6 when changing from using the selected account drop down, I don’t see the option to select DAKOTA (EXTENSION) anymore. I do see the Development ones listed, but no DAKOTA. Is there another extension that I should be using?
