Change UTM links when name of ad unit is changed

[dmngdsm]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. If a user wants to change ad unit name for some reason, but is already using UTM data for analytics with the old name, the UTM link should also change. Otherwise renaming Ad Units is close to meaningless.

Describe the solution you'd like Possible solution: Just change UTM link when ad unit name is changed.

Describe alternatives you've considered Alternative: "Create New From" button that copies an ad unit as new one, but with unsaved targeting and name, so that you can create an ad unit with a new name but no need to upload creative again. I actually like this solution even better.

@rori4 just showed me the "Cloning" feature which is 100% my alternative solution. Figure out if you want to however try the solution I first suggested, but I think the existing one solves it very well too.

We can't update the UTM url as it is a one of the spec properties (added to ipfs and can NOT be modified). This is described in the adex protocol. Here is the info about the AdUnit https://github.com/AdExNetwork/adex-protocol/blob/master/campaignSpec.md#spec-properties-added-to-ipfs-and-can-not-be-modified

This is also blocked by principle/security. Should we allow overriding the URL? This can lead to scams.

So this must be accompanied by a change in the ad view that will accept the override if it ONLY changes the UTM

@Ivshti We have discussed this with @dmngdsm that cloning of the AdUnit solves the issue. If you want to change the UTM just clone it.

You need to open a new campaign though. Is this fine?

If you clone it it will not replace the previous one and will not be included in existing campaigns.

It is fine, if you have a wrong ad unit that you wanted to rename, you would have to stop the campaign anyway.

Cloning is totally solving this problem for now, there's no need to waste time on it.
