Hi Gary,

Currently there is no such facility for changing a bitstream name when
changing an item name iff there is only one bitstream.

This could be accomplished by two consecutive calls the API:

midas.item.create to change the item name,
midas.bitstream.edit to change the bitstream name

Thanks,
Mike
