How to change bot name?

Basically I want to be able to change the name of my bot from "SupportChatBot-local-debug" to "Support Chat Bot" whenever it messages. I thought it'd be in Azure/Bot Framework portal but I've chang

 

Is there some other magical place where I can change it?

    mattphillips - You can change the user-facing display name of your application by navigating to 
    Home > App registration > <YourAppName> in Azure portal and updating the name as shown below.

      Prasad_Das-MSFT Hi, I have already changed that value but it hasn't updated the bot name, is there anywhere else to change it?

        mattphillips - You can change your app name from manifest as well.
        If the bot is sideloaded, then the name/icon is taken from the bot registration. Once published it will take the name and icon from Manifest itself.
