Manual rename of the device

[luprochazka-cen63872]

Our devices are managed by the MDM. So we can`t rename devices for example, therefore the devices are display like iPhone-K9XXXXX on the dashboard

@luprochazka-cen63872 We don't have this feature. Good to have. Currently we only fetch what ever the deviceName is set

[luprochazka-cen63872]

I am trying to make some changes like adding IFs for deviceName (workaround only for me), but I have lack of knowledge how to run the tool locally. I did steps mention in section Contributing & Development, I also noticed than I can`t modify dashboard and modules due to licence. But how can I try this particular change without running dashboard?

Thank you.

@luprochazka-cen63872 You can ignore the error. It's just a console logging from the plugin and it shouldn't have any impact on the plugin.

[luprochazka-cen63872]

However, how can I contribute if I don't have the complete source, including the dashboard, on my local machine? Thank you.

[saikrishna321]

@luprochazka-cen63872 will add this feature.
