Changing how CI is named during asset creation

[David Casper]

I'm in the process of manually bringing in existing assets that won't be discovered. I've been researching how to handle the display name as we have not implemented asset tagging yet and our users are used to specific ways to name their assets. 

Currently I'm thinking of inserting the asset name into the asset tag field, but I'm open to any suggestions. 

The main reason for this post is to see how to edit the way the CI is named when an asset is created. I know there is a BR calling the AssetandCI script include. However I'm not 100% where the naming is occurring. I know the asset tag is included in the CI name, but I don't see that in the function. 

As I stated my goal is to change how the CI is named. In my temp workaround situation I'd like to just name it the same as the asset tag, at least during my initial import. However I am aware that with the way it is currently configured when we add real asset tags later it will auto update the CI name to include that tag. 

Thanks in advance!

That function sets the display name for the asset itself, not the CI. Hence my confusion haha!

@Matthew Smith @David Casper some of the CIs are following the standard naming convention but some are not following naming convention why so this is happening?
