So I want to make a GUI for my server, and there is an item I would really like to use, and that's the banner patterns, they look like scrolls which would really fit with the server. So when I tried to rename the item and change it's lore, the item lore from before still showed:
Is there any way I can change this? Maybe an NBT tag I'm not familiar with?

Item lores are stored in the display.Lore tag of the item:
{ display: { Name: '{"text":"Skills!"}', Lore: [ '{"text":"Your Skills"}' ] }
}The anvil can only edit the Name tag, but not the lore. You can use commands to edit the lore, such as:
give @s diamond_sword{display:{Lore:['"Text"']}}It is possible to edit the item lore on items, but not while they're in a player's inventory. To do this, place your item in a chest, then run the following command:
data modify block <x> <y> <z> Items[0].tag.display.Lore set value ['"New Lore"'] 0
