Hi, is there a way to take control over workitem names in a ROP Fetch node ? I'm sending a lot of renders to HQueue, but it is really difficult to check progress on the monitor when all your jobs are named “something_1_2”, “something_1_7”, etc. The ropfetch workitems are named top node name + suffix. I'd like to ideally use upstream attribute + suffix instead, something like:

upstream node: holds 2 workitems, with attribute “asset”.
workitem1: asset=“box”
workitem2: asset=“sphere”
|
ropfetch (renders frame range:1-3), and produces:
workitem1: name=“box_1”
workitem2: name=“box_2”
workitem3: name=“box_3”
workitem4: name=“sphere_1”
workitem5: name=“sphere_2”
workitem6: name=“sphere_3”

is that possible? …or maybe event handlers are an alternative to this ? Or python changing hqueue job properties on a post submit process ? I'm not sure what would be the best approach to this.

Thanks.
