How can I rename property in the Neo4j web admin application?

I have created a relationship (for example "KNOWS") between 2 nodes on the Neo4j webAdmin application. If I want to rename the relationship (from "KNOWS" to "LOVES"), how can I do it?

The solution I have so far is delete the "KNOWS" relationship and create a new "LOVE" relationship. Is there any easier way to do this?

Thanks,

If you are using the Embedded neo4j then renaming is not possible. For this, you'll have to delete the existing relationship b/w nodes and then create new relationship b/w same nodes again. Make sure you all do this in a transaction.

Yes, that is how you do it. In the cypher console, you can do

start n=node(1) match n-[r:KNOWS]->m create n-[:FRIEND]->m delete r

see http://tinyurl.com/7umvpro for an example.
