Naming group created throught Inspect

I am using the Inspect commands to select edges or faces. Then at the end, there is the possibility to create a group based on the selection.

However, the space where you should write the group's name is always grayed out (see picture below) resulting in the default name all the time. Is there a possibility of using this option?

Looking more closely at the script behind this function there is actually a parameter for this:

But unfortunately, changing the name ('Show Edges') to something else is not taken into consideration.

Hi Louis,

With the current implementation , Show_Edges group is hardcoded.
User cannot modify the group name.In case you would like to change the group name you would have to execute that step and call the renaming of the group. Which would also be recorded in your script.

Please let me know in case you have any other queries.

Thanks

If I understand you correctly, you suggest to add an extra step to rename the group (either via the GUI or via a script)?
