Can Fasteners Properties be updated to Title case?

[shaise]

Basically its not just a fastener issue. The request here is to be able to edit the shown names of the properties in the property editor. So the internal name can stay the same but the shown name can be different. This also makes it possible to translate property names (again view only)

Fasteners Workbench was updated already, it looks like it is working. There is also the SheetMetal workbench that could receive the same treatment, and maybe others too.

Right now the way freecad display the properties is by taking the programmatic name and split it based on hyphens, underscore and case-ness. so 'my-parameter' becomes my parameter and 'myParameter' becomes my Parameter.
So, a simple solution, if not letting the programmer use a custom name, is to automatically Title Case all versions for the sake of uniformity.
In this case both 'my-parameter' and 'myParameter' will be shown as My Parameter

What if Freecad could add an optional parameter to have a Name for the property to be displayed as it is, when this is not set, then it uses the programmatic name as it is doing right now but converting what has to be converted and also using Title Case?

This is best, but I don't think it will be done very soon as there are much more urgent things. Converting to Title Case however, is rather an easy fix.

Totally. Freecad is just getting polished and attracting a lot of attention especially on this pre-1.0 release. These small things make the tool look better and more trustfull.
