    The name of the asset.

    If identical asset names per domain is disabled for this asset type, the name of an asset must be unique in its domain. If it is disabled and you type an existing name, an error message will appear below this field.

    Zero-width/whitespace characters are allowed in asset names.

    The full name of the asset. The full name of an asset must always be unique in its domain.

    This field is only available if identical asset names per domain is enabled for this asset type.

    Warning Don't edit the full name of assets because the name is needed to synchronize or refresh data sources. Changing the full name may cause unexpected results and break the synchronization or refresh process.
