Indesign cannot change group name(s) in the Layer Panel

On my trackpad I have the option of gently tapping the trackpad once to make a selection. Pressing harder on the trackpad will produce a click, for the past two years this one press click has allowed me to change the name. Now it doesn't work. The dialogue box opens exactly where it should on top of the > <group> name but it dissapears within a half second. It looks like it is opening the box to change the name and then very quickly closing.

(clicking twice with a pause, without a pause, three clicks with and without various pauses have no effect).

I also changed each of the settings for my trackpad in settings and this hasn't helped. 

I also tried removing and reinstalling Indesign and this hasn't helped either.

I have a release version of Big Sur with InDesign 2021 on a MacBook Air. Had no problem renaming layers on my machine:

I found the script, thanks, and it is: 

var d = app.dialogs.add({name:"Page Item Name"});
var tf = d.dialogColumns.add().textEditboxes.add({editContents:"", minWidth:250});
d.show();
var r = tf.editContents;
d.destroy();

var s = app.documents.item(0).selection[0];
s.name = r;

I couldn't get it to work and to be fair I don't fancy running this everytime I want to change the name of any object in my layer panel. I don't have that kind of time.
