Today, I checked the Display name and Tooltip functions of UiPath Assistant in the UiPath 2024 September Community Release.

There was something a little inconvenient about how to set the display name.

  1. How to set up Tooltips
    This is as expected and doesn’t feel strange at all. I’m sure others have the same impression.

This is great because I’ve been wishing this feature had been around for a long time.

  1. How to set the Display name
    However, this method is a bit inconvenient. I was expecting a Display name field to be added to the Studio argument properties and set that, but it works with the following steps.
    a. Open the json file Main.xaml.json in a text editor and change the value of the Display name element.
    b. Open the project in Studio and publish it.
    c.Then the argument name displayed in the Configure tab of UiPath Assistant will show the “Display name” value you set.

The image shows a directory named "argumentstest" in UiPath containing various folders and files, including "Main.xaml," "Main.xaml.json," and "project.json." (Captioned by AI)

What do other people think about this? I thought it would be better to add a Display name line to the Studio argument properties and set it, right?

Best Regards.

@patent-atanaka not sure I understand all the hustle with jsons and trying to hack Studio. There is built in support directly under right click - Argument Properties

A right-click context menu in a software development environment displays various options, including "Open," "Rename," and "Argument Properties." (Captioned by AI)

The image shows the Argument Properties window in a software application, where a user can edit the properties of an argument named "MyName," including its display name, tooltip, and whether it is required. (Captioned by AI)

Oh, I didn’t know there was a proper way to do it like that. Sorry, I didn’t know enough about Studio’s functions.
