Rename the "Data" parameter in Grasshopper

Hi,
I just created an account to bring up this issue: apparently the Data parameter component in Speckle is named, looks, and has exactly the same description as the original Grasshopper Data parameter. In my opinion it’s a bad design decision. It turned out that by mistake I used the Speckle Data parameter in some clients’ scripts, and didn’t know why they kept asking me if they need to install any plugins. Today I discovered why. Please, at least change the icon and the description. Now I need to go through the scripts, replace the Data params everywhere, and run Metahopper to check if the scripts are clean from any third party plugins. Then I will probably uninstall Speckle, because I don’t want to double check if I use the correct component every time when I look for someting as basic as the Data param.

Thanks in advance for considering my suggestion

Hey @knazar ,

I believe we’ve fixed this issue in the past. Is it possible that you didn’t have the current version of Grasshopper connector installed? Sorry to hear you had trouble but we’re always looking for fixing bugs reported by our community members.

Thank you for the quick reply! My installation is from June 6th this year. I downloaded the most recent version available at the time.
