Thank you. It selects mesh now, but it doesn't rename the part. Adding regular solids in the same feature, renames these, but not the mesh
In addition, when switched to expression type and entered
"Test [" ~ #Length ~ "x" ~ #Hook ~ "]"
P.S.
Something wrong with this forum. It would not allow me add any text in the text box so I had to "post it", now when I try edit my empty message it does same thing: I can't type anything.

@vanowm it works for me. Can you share a link to your document?

This way the custom feature can write to those properties. FS currently doesn't allow us to overwrite some properties so they have to be reset first.

You have to convert your lengths to a read-able and valid string "" format before naming a part.
An easy way to do that is with the
Variable to String custom feature. Like this:

Is it possible to allow us to change the name of the feature in the feature tree? I would make a copy and edit it myself but I don't want to miss out on any updates. Please let me know, thank you.

Sure thing @elijahpekaar, just pushed an update for you that has a feature name input. Also lets you keep or get rid of the auto prefix.
