Module controller UI : automatic name replace

Hello everyone,

Can you share your opinion about issue:
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57561

Currently, combobox is replaced by a tree and it is in the trunk.

Remaining point is an additional modification - automatically changing name
of Module Controller to selected element`s name (after selection in module
to run tree).

Do you find it useful? Do you think it is good idea? Personally, I have
positive experience with that, it increased readability of test plan (less
elements in test plan that have default name - 'Module Controller'), less
copy paste work (I usually used name of referenced element in a Module
Controller`s name).
Disadvantage of this modification is that some users may find it annoying
that name is automatically changed when they don`t want to.

Do you have any considerations how to implement it, currently there are
some options taken into account:
- automatic name change configured as global property
- checkbox that would be component property in GUI
- concatenation of two previous - checkbox that would be component property
in GUI with global property defining if it is enabled or disabled by default

Many thanks,
Maciej Franek

Hi,
Thanks for your answers.

Maybe add a field for prefix automatic naming ?


Sounds reasonable to me, if there is no other ideas, I`ll provide
appropriate patch in bugzilla.

Regards,
Maciej

Would be the best I think.
