Anyone know if it's possible to set a custom work item name?
I tried to do with with a Python Script TOP but it says the work_item.name property has no setter.

It might not be possible but it would be nice to have the ability to control this so that the "Active Work Item" dropdown can display more useful information than "filepattern1_1", "filepattern1_2", etc.

It's called workitem label, it can be set multiple ways
1. Setting a default expression on the top net itself
2. With python work_item.setLabel()
3. Several nodes have a Work Item Label parameter under the Scheduler tab. Where you can use expressions that references workitem attribs

Absolute champion.
Thanks mate!
