In the new Firebase console I cannot edit the name or move and not clone any node of the real-time database

In the new Firebase console, I cannot edit the name and not clone or move the node (change the parent) of the real-time database

I even tested setting up rules for the public.

Is it for design? What is the use of this console? ONLY to change child values?

There is really no way to clone a node or rename a key in the Firebase database console. Since the Firebase database API does not have a clone / rename operation, we also do not have an equivalent in the user interface.

Note that this operation is also not possible in the previous Firebase panel for the same reason. This has nothing to do with your security rules and the new version.

If you want to move the node to a new location, you will need to emulate it:

  • Click the Database tab in the Firebase console
  • Scroll through the JSON tree until you select the node you want to move.
  • Open the overflow menu (three vertical dots: ⋮ ) on the right and select Export JSON . Save the file to a local drive.
  • Remove node from JSON tree
  • Move the JSON tree to the place where you want to move the data.
  • Open the overflow menu (three vertical dots: ⋮ ) on the right and select Import JSON . Select a file from the local drive.
