It would be great if any duplicated render element has got additional number when created, for example if I have vraylight render element added and I am creating the next one it should have automatically assign name vraylight01. The were number of occasions where I just forgot to change it and it override the previous setup (as the render element name was the same).

The problem with semi-automatic naming are many.
There are a number of cases where the auto-naming would conflict with user intention, so perhaps it *shouldn't* be us making the change (this has historically been very problematic with scripted operations and complex pipelines.).
It can be, however, scripted as a post-process for after the REs have been added, which would result in much cheaper processing (name checking done once instead of each time an RE is added) and it would be user initiated, so intention would be clear.
Run the attached script, f.e., to get your identical names suffixed.
The script comes as a pointer, without any support.
Feel free to modify it as you see fit.Attached FilesLast edited by ^Lele^; 17-12-2021, 04:28 PM. Reason: changed "should" with "shouldn't". sorry for the silly mistake.Lele
