Rename ROIs lose Z position

Recently I attempted to use the Update command of the roiManager in a macro to add a z position to 2D circular ROI and was unsuccessful.  I then tried a work around by using "Specify" with the third dimension and it worked fine, though not ideal as it creates a new ROI.  The problem comes that I have a strict naming system of ROIs (using cell numbers or subcellular localization numbers to replace the z-y-x nomenclature).  When I rename an ROI, the XY values are saved, but Z is lost.

Any suggestions how I can keep my naming system and still have the ROIs be slice specific?

Thanks,
