Dynamic Base Filters: Update Base Filter on Entity Rename (Filename, Folder)

Use case or problem

Adding a links to or in folder filter in a base view and then renaming the file or folder doesn’t update (rename) it in the filter.

Proposed solution

Update the entity in the filter when it’s renamed.

Note: Adding this feature is complicated and may take some time.

Renaming the project now updates the properties’ values but the task is gone because the enlisting base is still on the old value.
