text parameters for blueprint-entity's that can be named

TL;DR

suggestion is to add text-parameters/-placeholders in blueprints for entity's that can be named like train-stations

What ?

currently its not possible to e.g. number train-stations for cell-oriented train-bases where you have multible stations in a cell-blueprint that are numbered by cell-number, or using one blueprint for loading and unloading stations.

idea/suggestion

adding additional free-text parameters to the selection that can be filled with text when placing them

: how the station names would look like as template; new_template.PNG (47.26 KiB) Viewed 170 times

Why ?

blueprint parameters are awesome and having the possibility to have additional text-parameters would make naming of train stations in cells even more awesome because its a huge hazzle to (still) change every train station name by hand if you have 500+ stations just to add a silly number
