Running 8.1.27, the default name is `Edge Historian`.

I'm moving tags to the Edge gateway via EAM and some of the tags have history enabled. However, I have to manually change the storage provider when I do this because I am not able to dynamically assign the storage provider (via binding) or change the name of the default storage provider (unless I just can't find the setting).

IMO, the easiest solution would be to allow the name of the Edge Historian storage provider to be changed.

Maybe I can dig into a config file for now?

This is going to become even more of a headache when it comes time to configure pens on a chart.
