I'm working with SharePoint 2010. I have a task list containing a regular task content type and a summary task content type, which is basically a folder. This allows a major task to have sub tasks under it, stored in a folder. 

I would like to update the folder name via workflow after creation. But the "Name" field is unavailable. I tried using Title, but it doesn't do anything to the folder name.

If the "Name" field is not available, you could update the name of the Folder by using REST API

I can browse to the webservice in the browser but get an error connecting via the action in the workflow. I'll keep working on it. Thank you for the suggestion.
