By default, the naming service for bpfs uses the logical names, not the display names. This generates some extremely hard to read names in the format Publisher_bpf_GUID. The Display Name should be used instead (and the GUID can be added if there is a duplicate name)

If it's helpful, I've added code to my naming service to resolve this in the EarlyBound Generator

Also for relationship names:

For the moment we are not going to address this in the short term.

  • We will continue to track this and discuss with the team that owns BPF concerning how we should approach this patter wise.
    thanks
