Populate Active modules ring with Instance names for cloneables

Status: Declined

While we appreciate that this feature would be helpful in certain cases, after careful consideration and discussion we came to the conclusion that we do not want to convolute the framework with this code.

 

Also, it's not a showstopper. There's a way for you to make this work (a clone manager module would be one way to do it), which makes it easier for us to decide to focus our limited resources elsewhere.

Request:

Provide a mechanism to externally name the cloneable instances and retrieve the names to populate the "Select module" ring. 

 

Reason:

Lets say I have three power supplies. Having a ring displaying eg.: 5,6,7 has way less information than lets say "Main PS", "DUT PS", "Battery PS". Sure in the background they will be just numbers so the numeric part of the ring should remain the same. If no name is provided for a given instance then nothing should change.

 

This is a relatively simple change, can be done easily with a template so not sure if this should be the part of a DQMH release.
