Hello @knolleary !  
Is it possible to get feature line auto name numbering scheme to UI components button, text, etc.. like debug node get upon added into flow.  
Why is it useful?  
when i add multiple button all show with same name, this makes confusion when i indented to do some automation like navigation button.

I'm sure we'd welcome a PR that added it to the dashboard nodes if @dceejay agreed.
