Additional Information

If you have a distribution list nested in another distribution list in another domain, and if the child dist list is renamed, it is removed from the parent distribution list's membership and has to be added back in manually.

This does not occur if the two distribution lists are in the same PO or same Domain. In those cases, renaming the nested distribution list has no change. When renaming the Dist list, Checking the option "save old name" still returns the same problem.
