Smart objects (opened from Photoshop) should have the same name as their Photoshop layer
I'm working on a complicated digital twinning pipeline which involves a lot of nested smart objects within Photoshop files.
Oftentimes these smart objects are merely white text and it's difficult to distinguish between them when several are open at the same time.
The problem is compounded because illustrator simply refers to each object that I open as "Vector smart object". Having several open at the same time quickly becomes difficult to manage. I believe, too, that Photoshop is sometimes unable to launch a particular smart object in illustrator because of a clashing "Vector smart object" 'file name' instance.
It would help greatly if the Smart Object's filename - when opened in illustrator - mirrored the Photoshop layer name from which it was launched.

Agree.
Ryan, would you mind asking the same thing at Photoshop forums and sharing a link here? Here is the page — https://community.adobe.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/idea-photoshopAs every borderline problem, this might have to be solved from the other end — perhaps Photoshop doesn’t share the layer’s name at all.
