Just to clarify terminology - Dashboard is the UI generated by node-red-dashboard. You are talking about the palette in the Node-RED Editor.

I have already replied three times to this question [here](https://github.com/node-red/cookbook.nodered.org/issues/29#issuecomment-417614785)

The behaviour you describe is hardcoded in the Editor. There is nothing your node can do to get a `-` to display in its name in the palette.
