Description
It would be nice if by changing the name of an object in the Objects tab, this name would replace the name of the command in the model display. Currently setting this name just is ignored and is lost after saving and reopening the model.
In addition, the possibility to add comments would be nice, possibly in the form of a comment object that would be ignored in the model.

it was hopefully fixed in r58518, you can set action name/label in 'Items' tab or from contextual menu ('Set label').
Works now, thanks !

This has been implemented in r58521. You can set comments from contextual menu, it's saved to model file. I am not sure how to display them, probably as tooltips or directly in the object shape below label. Any opinions?
I think the ideal would be to be able to add comments independent of objects. Sometimes comments can be about a process that includes several objects. And for such comments it would be nice to have a specific form not yet used by other types of obects (triangle, hexagon, ...).
And to push things even further: it would be nice if these comments then also show up in the Python code...

I have also modified dialog for adding new commands to the model which now enables setting label and comment, see attachment:modeler-label-comment.png

This make sense.

As comments, good point.

Comments related to the commands are now shown as DividedShape, see attachment:modeler-comment.png
