What else would you have it do? If when you open the tb icon rules editor, it finds a column in the rules that *can't* be there, should it leave it to break something else later? Leave it there but hide it (it can't be edited) in hopes you will eventually create a valid column with that lookup name? Try to work around having item values in the rules that don't exist? Having the editor protect invalid data isn't something I think is reasonable.

As we have discussed several times before, changing lookup names doesn't propogate through calibre. Because of the problems that arise when reusing lookup names I have considered keeping a list of former names and rejecting any that match.

Much more than I am willing to do. I won't stand in the way if someone else wants to attempt it.
