I want to name my feature based on an intense calculation. How do I keep it efficient?

A feature I'm working on can take a while to compute, and one of the outputs after all of that computation is a number that I'd like to include in the feature name. I think I need to use the "Feature Name Template" for this, but is there a way to feed it the number without having to calculate it all again in editing logic and feeding that to a hidden UI parameter?

First of all you can use setFeatureComputedPararameter() function. Also whatever you calculate in editing logic can be validated in feature body, and if initial data is not changed it can be reused - this how editing logic can be used for caching saving regen time of the feature when some subset of inputs is persistent enough and used in expensive computation.

This is a great answer. setFeatureComputedPararameter() is what I needed, and the caching with editing logic is a bonus. I actually figured the cache one out on my own for a particularly heavy feature I worked on, which worked great but I didn't think of validating it in the feature somehow. Thanks!
