Compiling error after executing 'Rename Machine Module' (fixed as of V3.21)

Corrected from:
Project template ApplicationTemplate Standard as from V3.21

Response of the new version:

Only the machine module to be renamed is renamed. The instance or variable name of this machine module remains unchanged when renaming the machine module.

What happens?

After renaming a machine module with the context menu command 'Rename Machine Module' error messages appear during compilation:

C0077: Unknown type: 'xxx'

When does the behaviour occur?

If the name of a machine module starts with the name of the machine module to be renamed (e.g. MM_SlaveAB - MM_SlaveA), then both machine modules including their instance names and data types are renamed in the folder 'A55_VarLists' and in the block 'MMT' (folder 'A10_MachineModuleTree').
In the folder 'A70_MachineModuleSources' the machine modules are renamed correctly.

Which products are affected?

Project template ApplicationTemplate Standard from V3.17

Short-term measures:

Manually adapt the machine module name or the data types accordingly in the global variable lists in the folder 'A55_VarLists' and in the module 'MMT'.

Evaluation/Recommendations:

Compilation errors may occur after renaming machine modules in the PLC Designer project. The compilation errors can be eliminated by manual adaptation (see Short-term measures).
