This is unfortunate.
As I understand it, if I manually change the caption, it will never get auto-updated in NPM if I change the ifName on the switch in the future. I'd prefer to change the ifName in one place (the switch) and have it propagate to NPM - in a usable form. In this case, I'd have to change the ifName (if I want it on the switch) and then also change the caption in Orion.
Is there a technical reason this cannot be done? Would it be possible this could be considered for a future update?
