      I would like to determine/set the name of an activity at runtime. This feature would include

      • to set a default name in the modeler (the name that will be displayed in the diagram), which is already possible
      • adding means to resolve an expression that will constitute the actual name of the activity at runtime
      • OR allow to set the activities name property via the activities start delegate

      Right now, it's possible to set a tasks name via a taskDelegate. This works, but I would also favor to use expressions here as it would allow to make the naming rule part of the BPMN model.

      I think this would be a great addition as it would allow to set the name of service tasks instances to reflect the actual purpose at runtime ("Check credit #333" for example). Apart from that, I think it is a desirable feature for any activity type.

      Ideally, multi instance child activities can be named separately, which would make it easier to present them in a meaningful way in a UI.
