MeshCentral never updates the display name
-
I opened a support issue for this one.

Maybe I'm spoiled by ScreenConnect, but I simply assumed that the name I see would always reflect the hostname.
I mean they set it to the hostname to start with, so why the hell wouldn't that update when the hostname updates?
I get that you might want your own fixed name. I set a very few devices in each group with a fixed name in ScreenConnect to put them on top of the list. But generally, I want things to update as the device updates over time.

We often alter than manually. It uses hostname as default, but then it's just stored.

I would prefer hostname as a separate "detected" field that is always there, and the display name as one that doesn't change on us.

I don't care what the default setting is, as long as it is a setting that I can choose, because I will hate having to update crap all the time.
