Rename the "Main profile"
opensuse tumbleweed and LEAP 15.5 python 3.11.4 and 3.6.15 BiT installed from main openSUSE repo.
How do I rename profiles? In particular "Main Profile?" That title conveys almost nothing. Other profiles I would like to rename to a more enlightening title.
(Note: My attempts to add a file in the file area below all failed. Used File Upload and drag-n-drop.) Diagnostic output for tumbleweed.

Dear Jim, thanks for asking and reporting. Your issue is related to #1371.
It is not possible to rename the "Main profile" but you can rename all other profiles. This is a bug by design. It is not elegant but the behavior and code of BIT is currently structured like this. It is on our TODO list to make BIT more flexible here but given our lack of resources this has low priority.
In this screencast you can see how to rename the other profiles.
Contributing
If you are interested in fixing this and contributing to the project I would try to support and mentoring you from scratch. But your specific Issue is not for beginners I would say. You can have a look on other beginner-friendly issues in our project.
About your diagnostics output
Beside the problem you reported I discovered something in your diagnostics output I would like to research about. Can you please show me the output of $ rsync -VV on your system please.
$ rsync -VV
