Is there any way to get the name of the event description as typed in the editor?

It would be helpful to have this for non-final builds, if only for error messages.

I’ve since noticed there is a guid export step I could use to figure it out fairly easily, but I would be concerned about these getting out of sync, e.g. if the designer doesn’t run the export guid step before testing their new event they could fail to get correct error messages.

Could this be included in a single build step?

Also what about post build steps?

Not at the moment. We do plan to provide an EventDescription::getName function, but this is not yet implemented.
