By default you will not see this in the GUI but you can see it in Python, if you right click on the Property editor in ComboView and tick 'show all' you will see more properties displayed including 'Label2'.įifthly!! Just to be complete (or perhaps just really annoying ) After you have selected 'show all' as above you can then right click again and select 'Add a custom property' to an object that can pretty much be any value or can be described by an Expression. Objects have the properties ,Name and Label as explained above but also have a property 'Label2'. Screenshot_20201102_113438.png (6.56 KiB) Viewed 1549 timesįourthly! There is actually two labels on each object. I can work with the current state - I just think it's a bit confusing. xpressions use the name without the pointy brackets. In the case of a Label, it must be enclosed in double > symbols, such as >.'

Renaming the spreadsheet through the context menu changes the label in the properties view and vice-versa, so I would assume that 'Name' and 'Label' are either the same thing or connected for spreadsheets.

The properties of the spreadsheet show the name as 'Label'. The Spreadsheet wiki page contains 'spreadsheets may be given a user-assigned name (rename) like any other object.'. I've tried to make my way through and, but there's something that does not 'click' yet. I am trying to use a Spreadsheet to set some parameters in a central location that I would like to re-use in various places.
