[Feature Request] Renaming function for study/assay

[micwij]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I currently see no direct way for renaming a study or an assay. Maybe this is a somewhat rarer case, but I could see several scenarios, where you would want to change the study or assay identifier. Here are some examples

• Your collaborator/supervisor/reviewer wants you to repeat a study and you would now like to number both of them or add a year tag.
• You want your collaborator to rename an assay to fit the naming scheme of your platform (e.g. https://nfdi4plants.org/nfdi4plants.knowledgebase/docs/guides/ARC-enablingPlatforms.html)
• The preliminary names of a mutant/newly discovered species/software tool after which you named a study/assay is changed during the course of the project

Describe the solution you'd like
I could imagine a function like arc s rename that works similar to the other ISA Metadata functions where you can assign a new identifier. Alternatively maybe this functionality could be incorporated into arc s update /arc s edit

Describe alternatives you've considered
The current alternative I see for studies is to create a new study with the desired id and moving all associated assays with arc a move. However you still need to move the isa.study.xlsx and other files manually. The same goes for assays.

Additional context
Sorry if there is a simple alternative, that I am missing.

Hey @micwij,

that's definitely a needed feature is on the to-do list.
