InCopy assignment names don't change with file name
Backstory:
We have particularly formatted files that we use to create new versions for new products. The copy isn't created new, but modified from the old version that was already used in InCopy.
The Issue:
My InCopy guy FREAKS OUT when he sees the name of the assignment assets (attached screenshot) are that of a previous project not at all related to the file he's currently working on.
The Long and Complicated Solutions:
I know there's a way in InCopy to rename these, but it's long, complicated and outside of a standard workflow. A shorter and easier method would be to create a new text object and copy/paste the text there. But that's still not ideal.
An Ideal Solutions? (if ever at all possible):
The actual Assignment name (that starts as "Assignment 1") can be changed by simply double clicking it form the assignments panel if you neglected to change it when the assignment was created. Could assets also get that treatment maybe?
Any simple fixes would be helpful.

I'm having the same issue. I am cloning a set of documents for translation and the .icml file inherits the master copy name. That name can't be changed from within Assignments.
