The problem with this is that it put the playlist names numerically out of sync, with the actual playlist numbers, which can be particularly confusing if you are trying to switch to a group of different takes etc.
It looks like this :
Kick (playlist 01)
Kick.01 (playlist 02)
Kick.02 (playlist 03)
The trick is to name your original playlist, appended numerically.
I tend to include "Tk" as an abbreviation of "Take" :
Kick Tk.01 (playlist 01)
Kick Tk.02 (playlist 02)
Kick Tk.03 (playlist 03)

es, I do know that PT does what you mentioned above. Watch this video to see what I'm talking about
: The user clicks "new playlist", a popup appears to enter the name of the playlist, and the name change he makes to one track changes ALL of the tracks.
Yes, I've tried doing this while in a group, and while selecting a series of track using the shift key when selecting to affect them all.
