Dear all,  
For the deployment of a custom module, I would like to have different names for the modl file and for the name attribute of the module (showed in the gateway config web page). For example:

- modl file: KPI-2.1.2.2020042215-unsigned.modl

- Module name showed in the config web page: KPI

I tried to do in the following way, but I didn’t get any significant results:

```auto
<moduleName>${module-name}</moduleName>
<moduleDescription>${module-description}</moduleDescription>
<moduleVersion>${project.version}</moduleVersion>
<moduleFile>${basedir}/target/${module-name}-${buildNumber}-unsigned.modl</moduleFile>

```

Is it the right way to proceed?

Thank you so much.  
Best,  
Andrea

The name and location of the module file built by the plugin is not configurable. You’ll have to rename it yourself afterwards if you want it to have a different name.

edit: ah, I see this was a feature request.

You’re welcome to implement it yourself and submit a PR: [https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-maven-plugin](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-maven-plugin)
