Hi everyone !
I'm currently trying to process a bunch of shots from an outside TOP network, except when I try to send things on deadline I can name the group but the jobs are taking work_item names. Which creates things like rop_geometry1_ropfetch1_6_0 and I'd like that name in deadline to reflect which shot it is.
I can't seem to find a way to change the name of a work_item, besides, the rop_geo will overwrite it anyway, is there a way for me to get a nice:
TOP_process_group >
- shot 10
- shot 20

Thanks in advance !

The name of the work item is created from the TOP node's name. So if you change your ropfetch node's name to ‘shot’, the work item, and the job , should then take that name. As for being able to specify a name, that is not currently possible, but if you are able to submit an RFE, we can investigate it.

Is it possible to specify the name as an expression ? To specifically take the work_item name for example ?
Will send an RFE thanks !
