[Feature]: Ability to set the title of the tab dynamically

[Nikhil-Nandagopal]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Summary

End users have many tabs open of their appsmith apps and they would like to have unique titles for the tabs based on the tickets they are looking up so that they can go to the right tab quickly

Why should this be worked on?

This was requested by enterprise customers and is important for operational use cases as it reduces the time for users to switch tabs

Hello @rohan-arthur and @carinanfonseca , Thank you for the requirement video.

can you please provide some more context and some clarification on this feature.

I have tried and implemented the feature and I am able to set the name of the tab dynamically but the issue is that : problem 1. what was given in the lable property will be displayed in the title of the property pane and in the tabObjs section of Tab widget. SS: The property pane of Tab widget.

The title of the tab:

problem 2. If this is expected behaviour then we can go ahead with this implementation. and If this is not an expected behaviour the we have to show the evaluated value instead of the text. problem 2.1 If we show the evaluated value then the problem arises when the user tries to edit that name of the tab. what should be the expected behaviour.

We can see the same behaviour in the ButtonGroupWidget and it has the same issues and the problem 2 was not handled in this widget. ss:

title of the Button property pane:

@saicharan-zemoso thank you for the explanation. Showing the expression seems like not ideal behaviour, but we can also keep it out of scope of this issue - Someone from the team will get back to you on this!
