"Feature Name Template": "Name " + Correlative number

FeatureScript features name is by default "FeatureName " + Correlative number. But can we set the "Feature Name Template" to something like "otherName + Correlative number?

I think you're looking for the "annotation" above the call to "defineFeature()".  This feature will show up on the feature list as "Some Other Feature Name 1", "Some Other Feature Name 2", etc.

Hi

I think this Featurecript will show up on the Feature list as "Some Other Feature Name", "Some Other Feature Name", etc. without any number

Just tested it out and it shows up as expected (With the correct ascending numbers) on my end.  Is it not working for you?

Sorry. Of course, it works. You just change the name of the feature.
But what I want is to keep that name and use another name for the features created. Like in this example

annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Profile Generator C2C", "Feature Name Template" : "Profile (NUMBER) - #profileName"}

export const profileGenerator = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)

    precondition

    {

        // Define the parameters of the feature type

        

        annotation { "Name" : "Name" }

        definition.profileName is string;

        

    }

    {

        // Define the function's action

    });

You can, from within the feature, use setFeatureComputedParameter to set a parameter named, e.g. "index", then access that value in your template string as "#index".

If you want the behavior you describe, you could have each of your features increment a "counter" context variable via setVariable and getVariable, then set the "index" feature computed parameter to equal your "counter" variable. Alternatively you might have more helpful distinguishing identifier to append to each feature. That's up to you.

Note that the above will behave slightly differently our normal feature counters. Names like "Extrude 1" and "Extrude 2" are editable, but stay with the feature when you, say, reorder them. Your computed name is not editable, but will dynamically update to display its correct index within the feature list.

Ok, Thanks

I will run some test
