How to show "Device Name"

I have some trigger, schedules where I would like to see what devices are being effected. I am trying to identify devices for troubleshooting and I have to go into one then cycle "Next/Prev" to see the detail. For me this seems to be for those devices that use a plugin (hue, denon, airfoil, etc). Maybe I'm missing something when I setup the device that would help.

This would be an enhancement to the Hue Plugin since the plugin is responsible for that string. Note, however, that if you change the device name after you've last edited the action the old name will still appear - it is not dynamically generated (nor can it be currently).

Jay, thanks. That explains why it looks like that for all my devices that use plugins.

Karl, update plugin, closed indigo and restarted. Same, no device names.
Should I add a new device to see if that makes a difference.

These are all Hue brand bulbs, most are color/ambiance in the attachment above

You have to edit and save the actions before it will update.
