The planner. It is not possible to move the VIA point.
Solved
If you create a VIA point in the scheduler and then move it, it will turn into an auxiliary point. The previously entered VIA point name will be deleted.
In version 3, the same story, only the name of the VIA point is not deleted.
The same problem 
Hi,
this is perfectly normal behavior. A via point is firmly linked to the location and description - it bears some important information. When it is moved, this link is aborted and the information is no longer relevant because the location changes.

The actual behaviour when moving a via point may or may not make sense, depending on requirements. If you have a LoMap for the region, each shaping point or via point is initially named with the address of the position. It then makes sense for the address to be updated when it is moved.
Whether it makes sense for the via point to be changed back to a shaping point when it is moved cannot be said in general terms.
If I name a via point individually, my name does not have to have anything to do with the exact position. I can use a via point as a reminder or a general hint or whatever. Then it is really annoying that the name is lost when it is moved.
Perhaps an option in the route planner settings would be useful: "Preserve via point name when moving". This would then apply to all via points.
Or another checkbox in the route planner list "Preserve via point name when moving". This would then only apply to the respective via point.
See screenshot.

We have reconsidered the behavior of this feature. When the app detects that the via point's name is manually entered (e.g. it is not a LoPoint) it preserves the name for possible later edits.
