Hello

Is there a way to change the name of a `service` without creating an entirely new stack?

For example

`service: awsService`  
**to**  
`service: awsNewService`

Every time I change the name of the service, an entirely new stack is **created** , is there a way to _avoid_ this?

Many thanks!

Have you tried fixing the stack name under provider section?  
`provider:`  
`stackName: my-stack-name`

^This should work unless you use a stack name that is dependent with the service name ex:  
`stackName: ${self:provider.stage}-${self:service}`
