friendly element name not used in step description
Steps to reproduce:
1. Start recording
2. Highlight an element on a page and from quickstep menu select "Add to elements..."
3. Change to the "Element friendly name" dialog (BTW: In nearly all cases the menu appears in the background and you have to know to switch to it - user unfriendly, display it in front)
4. Set name
5. Add a step for the element (e.g. verify that text is something)
Result: 
* In the element explorer is friendly name
* In the step properties (Primary Target) is friendly name
* In the step description is some generated name (e.g. Verify 'TextContent' 'Contains' 'Sign in' on 'IdSSpan').  Where 'IdSSpan' is some generated name not used anywhere and 'SignInText' is friendly name. 
* When I try to reset name, the generated name is stuck. The only way to fix it is to choose again the same element using primary target in step properties.

Expected result:
The name in the step should be friendly name. It makes it pretty hard to discern if I added another element to the page or if an already existing one was used.

I have seen several feedbacks with similar/same problems, but they had comments that it was fixed long time ago so I am submiting a new one.

I am also having the same problem.

I record a test.
I give the elements friendly names say F1.
I record another test that utilises the same element.
Click on the test step and the element is named Sst in the test Step, but the highlighted element on the left side is F1, I have to rename element F1 for the test step to adopt the F1 element name.

> I am not clear about your actions between steps 4 and 5. 

Step 4 - set a friendly name of the element in the dialog.
Step 5 - go back to the browser and try to record an action for the element you have just added with a friendly name, using quick step menu (e.g. verify that test or something).

Dear Anna,

Please note that for already recorded element, before adding a step after you rename the element you should refresh the elements in the element's explorer in order the change to be reflected in the Step Builder. Here is a short demonstration:

Thank you for your understanding.

Dear Jan,

I am not clear about your actions between steps 4 and 5. Are you adding the element to the element's explorer? Because this is the proper action. If yes, then I am not able to reproduce the behavior you are describing here and I will need some extra help from you. Here is a short video with my approach which works as expected:

Let me know if there is something that I am missing.

Thank you

I have a similar problem.

Rename an element in a friendly name in the element-explorer.
Than add a step to the element with an recording task.

--> the result is the same 
element explorer: friendly name
step properties (Primary Target): friendly name
step description: automatic generated name

It would be better, if the step description also handle with the friendly name.
