Name Imported Part from Filename

It seems really silly that I import a single body .SLDPRT into Onshape into its own Part Studio and the name in the instance list is "Part 1". If there's only one imported file and body per part studio, can't Onshape save me copy/pasting or mistyping the name into the instance list? Certainly for other cases, importing needs to play dumb and give generic names, but in this case, it would be really straightforward to save me some time.

For one file, it's not a big deal, but if I grab a bunch of .SLDPRTs and import them all at the same time into an Onshape document, I just get a bunch of "Part 1".

Instance list in a part studio:



Assembly made in Onshape from 4 different imported parts, all called "Part 1":

    @S1mon I am not able to reproduce this. I will pull a ticket and take a closer look.  Most of the time it does preserve it. I would need to know what version of SW and have a test file so I can bug this.
