<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Thank
you for your answer, you understood my problem perfectly. I noticed the problem
is somewhat similar when trying to incorporate a Python calculator to a custom
filter and exposing the property name (in this case, the name remains
'Expression' no matter what you specify when creating the filter). <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The
reason I asked this question is that I need to design a filter that asks some
input from the user before performing some calculations. The way I used to do
this was by creating a calculator with the name of the quantity the user has to
give.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for clarifying, I think I understand now. So you
see the calculator buttons and text field for entering the expression? And you
want the name of the property to appear in the label?<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">For this property, a custom widget is used in the Properties
panel that does not display the property name. Hence, the property name does
not show up. I see that in 3.14 the Function is displayed with a simple text
field - you don't get the calculator buttons.<u></u><u></u></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We'd have to change the custom widget to display the
property name. This would be a relatively simple change that I could walk you
through if you'd like to contribute to the ParaView source code.<u></u><u></u></p>
