Allow user to choose a variable name when using "Assign to variable" feature

First of all, the "Assign to variable" feature in asset-analytics is amazing and helps a lot with refactoring previously created analyses, so kudos and thanks!

What would be even more amazing is if I had the ability to select a variable name wen assigning an expression to a variable.

The current behavior to name the variables Variable1, Variable2,...VariableN introduces room for error as I have to go through all the variable names and equations and rename them to something significant. Furthermore, if I forget to rename a variable somewhere, and assign a new expression to a variable, it becomes even more confusing as the variable numbers are reused.

I hope you will look into this.

    Am I missing something? The ability to rename the variable (left-most column) has always been available in Asset Analytics. Just left-click in the cell and edit to the name of your choosing. Other tips: you can have trailing comments by using "\\here is a comment" at the end of a line. You can also span multiple lines per expression by using Shift+Enter.
