Build ID: 20071113-1739 When adding a new element (task, activity, role..) with an empty (leaving "New xx") name field and typing only presentation name, the tool could automatically generate the name also. (space->"_", foreign chars->valid chars (ä->a) etc. More information:
The current design won't let you leave the name field if it's empty. Could you please provide the steps that you could do that?

Type presentation name: "Nice Task ÄÖ" 4. Since the name was skipped, now the tool could name the element "nice_task_ao"
OK. I got it now. Thanks for the explanation. This is a very valid usage scenario under non-English language such as those with Umlaut letters. With English, personally I just want to type into the name field, and then let the EPFC automatically fill the presentation name with the same name value.
Yes, maybe one alternative could be to have the presentation name first and the "name" field optional? Anyway, I've noticed that users consider the current design being somewhat clumsy, because you have to type the name twice and in non-English cases even modify the name. It's not a big effort in a single case, but when filling in many (hundreds and even more) elements, it can be somewhat exhausting.
