Version: Ignition Perspective 8.1

Is it possible to automatically name an embedded view when using Drop Configuration to drag-and-drop a UDT onto a view? For example, if I am dropping a UDT instance with the name _Pump12_ I would like the `Meta>name` to be _Pump12_ when it placed into the view.

I attempted to add a parameter called `name` to the drogConfig, but no luck.
