How to edit preset group names in Lightroom mobile?

Question

I've been importing presets to my Lightroom app on iOS and the app is adding prefixes to the groupings: *, @ A, and z., all of which you can see in the images below:

I have no idea where this is coming from; it's not from the files themselves. I can't see any way to edit the preset grouping names but this is really impeding easy use of the app as the listings are broken down into four groups (these three and some that have imported with their normal names), all of which are broken down alphabetically. Some of the groups have also split into two categories with different prefixes.

Any help resolving this would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @MD2254

Whoever made those presets must be specifying those unwanted characters as part of the "Preset Group" metadata.

Lightroom iOS allows you to import presets (which put them in these named Preset Groups), and allows you to "Delete preset group" from the 3-dot menu shown inside a group of custom presets. But Lightroom on iPhone and iPad does not allow one to rename the preset group, which seems to be what you want.

I just checked https://lightroom.adobe.com/, and the LR Web app also does not allow Preset Group renaming.

I see this is possible in the Lightroom desktop app:

If your plan doesn't include access to Lightroom desktop, you can learn more various about that and perhaps be able to use a free 7-day trial to accomplish what you need. See: https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/plans.html
