Rename a modifier's name for multiple objects

Question

I have multiple objects and they have the same exact modifier with same name (same parameters , name etc). For example :

• cube1 has modifiers : array1, boolean1
• sphere1 has modifiers : solidify1, boolean1
• cone1 has modifiers : boolean1

So i want to change the name of boolean1 to become myboolean for multiple objects at once. Can i do this ?

Do we need python for this ? using Alt doesn't do the trick for multiple edit.

Thanks

Iterate over all objects (or all selected objects, in the following script). If the object supports modifiers, check if the looked for modifier name exists, if it does, rename it.

import bpy

previous_name_modifier = "boolean1"
new_name_modifier = "MyBoolean"

for obj in bpy.context.selected_objects:
    if not obj.modifiers:
        continue
    mod = obj.modifiers.get(previous_name_modifier)
    if mod:
        mod.name = new_name_modifier
