Description
I was creating nodes and when i assigned them to group and joined group to all 3 "color" of 3 shaders name of node from group was "color" but when i removed "color" from group to "roughness" of 3 shaders name of node of group joined to "roughness" of 3 shader was still "color".

Steps to reproduce

1 Assign any 2 or more than 2 same nodes to a mesh.

2 Join them to a group.

3 Join color of nodes to group.

4 Cut group nodes and join same node from group to roughness or anything else to all shaders.

Not sure I understand correctly:

when you first connect a socket to a new group input socket, its suggested name is derrived from the connected socket, true (this is just a suggestion made for you).
once it already has a name, this wont change if you connect something new to it.
in general, you are free to name these sockets whatever you want (e.g. "MyColor")

As you can still drag a socket of your choice to a new group input socket (to get the suggested name) and remove the other one, and as there are scenarios where you definitely want to keep your custom name, I would not consider this a bug.
(It is a feature request at most and I personally would not want to have this changed.)

I will close this as not a bug, but feel free to comment again if issues persist...

If you still want this as a feature request, you can use other channels for it, thx.
