2. Select "Event Reason" and then select an event reason.
3. Rename the object by:  "Take Action Make Correction"
4. Update the "Event Reason Name" field.
5. click save

Notice that the "Event reason Name" field has updated, but the name of the event reason did not

This is due to the English Translation of the "Event Reason Name" field does not update unless it is updated manually.  Until the translated string is updated, the original value of this field will be displayed.

To update the translation of the field:

1. Click "Take Action" -> Make Correction"
2. On the Event reason name field, click the button for "View translations"
3. Update the English translation of the field and click save
   
   

The object should now display the correction made to the name.
