Renaming AAD Group doesn't reflect in SharePoint Online

When renaming a group in AAD, it is not automatically changed in SPO.
For instance when looking them up in a permissionslist.
When using lookupfields, it even displays the old and the new name in the list as separate entities

 

How to solve this? I guess a manual action is also needed in SPO? 

 

  • In general, any change happening in AAD is not reflected inmediately in SPO since there is a synchronization processs behind the scenes that is responsible to propagate any change happening in AAD to SPODS and viceversa

      last time I tested this (years ago).. even after waiting a month the change still wasn't reflected.
      I'll give it a new try and I'll wait

        Same issue here, it's best to rename in Teams or SharePoint itself, I just tried renaming a group last week and still hasn't updated.
