Removing/Resetting Nickname from Home Storage

Shortly, I installed the AddOn Inventory Insight to check where I put all my stuff.
With this AddOn, you can also see, whats in youre Home Storage.

I thought, maybe I should give them a meaningfull nickname.
So you can rename them in collections in the collectibles tab under /furnishing/storage.

But I don't liked it and want the standard names back.
Unfortunately you can not delete/remove/reset the Nickname to standard or empty.

I tried to empty the rename dialog, but than the "OK" button is grayed out.
Write the standard name in it is also not possible, because it is too long.

One " " "space" would work, but then there is no name in the AddOn Inventory Insight displayed.

I digged into the ESUI and find this function:
RenameCollectible(*integer* _collectibleId_, *string* _name_)

Copy the itemLink to chat via the contextmenu and strip the _collectibleId_
with the function /script GetCollectibleIdFromLink(*string* _link_) or simple copy it from chat in a texteditor and the number there is the _collectibleId_
As example: |H1:collectible:4677|h|h = 4677

Run in chat: /script RenameCollectible(4677, "") <- nothing between the quotation marks.
Now it's back to standard, which is "Empty" for Home Storage.

This also works for pets and mounts, if you renamed them and want the standard nickname back.

Very long story short.. would someone like to have / make a AddOn out of this knowledge?

I tried, but don't know how...

This sounds like a bug to me and you should report that via /bug ingame so that ZOs fixes it and allows to reset the names.
Everything else is just wrong IMHO, although it works with your simple script workaround.

I should be able to add functionality into the vanilla UI to let you set the nickname back to default

Seems not enough mentioned it via /bug ingame then

Thanks Dan, this would definately make sense to be resettable within the vanilla UI!
