Turning text block into object creates object name instead of content

If I have a text block in a page that I want to make an object in itself, I can click the function to turn it into something else. However when I do this, it takes that content and makes it the name of the object. This might make sense for a short string but typically if I'm doing this, I want the content to be the content of the object with a short name. I can edit the object after creating it but it would be nice if this were more intuitive.

We have tried this internally and came to the decision not to implement it, as it disrupts the workflow more often than it improves it.

Thanks for the report, I'll have a look. It's not the highest priority though!

Understood. Did some more testing - and it doesn't always happen. Not clear to me what determines the behavior. It might be enough to more clearly document how this should be done - whether to select text or blocks, whether to use Turn into or command palette and then new object.....
