Public bug reported:

In "bluetooth" panel of the settings there are connected/presiously
connected devices. In case some one owns multiple devices of same model
it is impossible to distinguish them easily. In  practice different
entries are distinguishable by the bluetooth device address.

There should be an option to "rename" the device to a string set by the
used. There is such an option in MacOS.

In my use case I own several Bluetooth rechargeable headsets. They need
to be charged for 4 hours to allow for 6-8 hours of use. So I own
several copies to have entire-day coverage.

In real world the headsets are distinguishable by the state of cushions,
but quite often I have one headset connected, but I do not know which
one is it. If I could rename:

Philips SHB7150 
Philips SHB7150 
Philips SHB7150 
Philips SHB7150 

to e.g.

Philips SHB7150 - mint cushions
Philips SHB7150 - worn cushions
Philips SHB7150 - extra battery
Philips SHB7150 - number 4


this would be very helpful.


This is not really a "bug" but a missing functionality.
