| Oct 18, 2016 at 12:03 | comment | added | Adam Seabridge | I did last week: sitecore.stackexchange.com/questions/1256/…. However haven't spent time looking at this further I've come to the conclusion the item is borked and needs replacing. Since I've already spent a lot of time trying to fix this issue and not managed to and I know replacing the rendering will solve it thats I've decided to take this route. | |

| Oct 17, 2016 at 21:31 | comment | added | Adam Seabridge | I've tried that, it's corrupt in some way as whatever I do to update the existing item it causes my controller to break. A copy of it also breaks. Same controller code in a new controller rendering works perfectly. Hence me needing to switch it out. | |
| Oct 17, 2016 at 20:51 | comment | added | zzzzBov | Renderings are just items. Update the rendering item, don't create a new one. | |
| Oct 17, 2016 at 19:43 | comment | added | Adam Seabridge | Thats the problem, I need to update the ID, not the name. I need to point all references to a new rendering all together. The name and controller are actually the same - or will be the same once I've replaced the rendering. | |

| Oct 17, 2016 at 18:30 | comment | added | zzzzBov | You can just update the rendering to have a different name and point to a different file. All references are by ID, so as long as the parameters and datasources can remain the same, it shouldn't be an issue. | |
