Name attribute Dynamic component

[Lowkey]

Hello community

I am experiencing an issue with the Dynamic Component name attribute. In the Component Options dialog, the name attribute appears as an editable field, whereas it should be displayed as a title and not be editable .

I am using SketchUp 2026

What do you have selected here?

Name attribute is a "reserved predefined attribute"that has only one display rule option unlike custom made attribute

You will likely have to share the component that is giving you trouble.
And / or hopefully someone like @pcmoor comes along and cane help.

Try:

=”2128” &”_” &if(small<1000,0,small) & “-“ &if(large<1000, 0,large) &if(material=”M04”,”A”,”RAL9005S”)

otherwise as Mike says; upload the DC rather than having to trying to work off the images

note spaces only for clarity, not required

This a modified DC for the “_name” attribute. A check with an attribute editor, shows the case.

The “_name” attribute is the first component name when initialized, can be modified using onclick

set("_name","a new name")

or by using an attribute editor as above

these are hidden attributes and knowledge and care required for use.

Resetting the “_name”, allows the title of option and attribute dialogs to display either the _name or the current instance name if named. This may lead to dissociation of subs on alteration, but use of the generic parent! resolves this.

what can cause the name attribute to behave like this? a plugin for example?
