Description

I am unable to change Token symbol after adding, as when initially adding MetaMask limited it to be 11 characters. I mistakenly deleted few chars and pressed enter and it got saved with a value that I need changes done, but MetaMask doesn't seem to have an option to change. Please add a feature to change the custom token name.

Research direction

Start by locating the MetaMask extension UI and state handling for adding custom tokens, then trace how the token symbol is displayed after saving. The change is done when a user can edit an already-added custom token symbol and the updated value persists and appears correctly in the wallet.
