ios - How to rename the IBOutlet property without lose the connection

Question

I work with old project and in some part of the project, the naming convention is not good so I want to change it.
For example:

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *btnRequestCode;
rename it to -> @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIButton *requestCodeButton;

I know that I can delete the IBOutlet then reconnect but it may take many time and easy make error if careless

Any safe and fast way to do it?

I have tried Refactor -> Rename but it doesn't work and give me an warning

Any help or suggestion would be great appreciated.

2. Click find,then selected replace

3.Replace to the name you want

4.You can click Replace All if you are sure. You can also to click preview to Replace every single change
