Business Action: Set Name

This operation can set the name of the current object to a constant value or to the result of a STEP function.

For example, when the color and size attribute values are concatenated to make the name of the object, use this action and a STEP function to generate that name.

This operation can also be run via a Bulk Update, as described in the Set Name Operation topic in the Bulk Updates documentation here.
