Presume your U102 is still present and intact on the board?

Show us the relevant fragment from the .pcb file. The footprint gets
embedded in that file, and that is where (if anywhere) the changes will
be made.

The ".cmd" script should only change the label of pins. It is a little
confusing that the action is called "ChangePinName". Perhaps someone
"fixed" that action to do something different.
