In NPM 11.5 triggering object information (Triggered By) in the alert would not change after renaming node

Question

I think it is a bug. Steps to replicate:

1. Create a node

2. Create an alert and trigger it

3. Reset trigger condition (reset alert)

4. Rename node

5. Trigger alert again

6. Go to alert landing page. "Triggered by:" on Alert Status Overview would not be updated

7. Go to node: In Active Alerts resource "Object Information" would still show old name

I have tried to toggle Alert's Enable (On/Off) - issue still persist. I guess I will need to recreate alert for this to be cleared

I concur, I am seeing the same behavior in 11.5.

I changed the name on a printer and in NPM but if the alert is triggered, the OLD name shows as the triggering object and triggering node.
