About this plugin

Rename Layers From ChildrenIf you have a complex component or group design (like a card, a list item, or a data row), you can use this plugin to automatically rename the parent layer using the data from its child layers.Features- Template-Based Renaming: Construct flexible naming templates that pull text or layer names directly from a selection's descendants.- PascalCase Auto-Formatting: Extracted text content is automatically formatted into clean PascalCase formatting to keep your layer names tidy.- History Storage: Automatically remembers the last 5 templates you used in your document, saving time on repetitive renames.How to UseSelect the root layers you want to rename (e.g., MyCard1, MyCard2).Run the plugin from Plugins > Development > Rename-Layers-From-Children.Enter your naming template into the text box.Click Rename.The Templating LanguageThe templating language relies on tags formatted as {Layer Name}.property.-{Layer Name} refers to the exact name of the child element you want to target (it must exist somewhere within the selected root layer)..property defines what information to extract from that layer.Properties.content: Extracts the actual text content of a `TEXT` node and converts it to PascalCase. (e.g. "marauder king" becomes "MarauderKing")..layer: Extracts the name of the layer itself.ExampleImagine you have a selection of Framed components with the following structure:MyCard [Frame]- Card Layout [Frame]- Card Cost [Text] -> content is "7"- Card Title [Text] -> content is "marauder king"If you apply the template {Card Cost}.content_{Card Title}.content to your selection, the MyCard frame will be renamed to 7_MarauderKing.If you apply {Card Cost}.layer, the frame will be renamed to Card Cost.GitHub Link
