Would be nice to be able to rename a large selection of actors and it would numerate them as well, based on the time of placement (newer is higher number)
Made a tool for you

And just the tool

I’ll check if I can see the create time in the tools. Not sure it’s exposed.
I was able to get the creation date time but I’m not a 100% sure this will work in all situations, give it a test and some feed back

Oh no! I am sorry to put you into trouble and you had to spend time on this, is this for UE5? I was referring to UEFN in the original post. Thanks in advance for taking the time
Maybe Epic can add this to the base functionality of the engine?
Sorry didnt catch that it was uefn. I only filter for unreal engine, forum filters are broken.
No matter, maybe it might come in handy for someone using ue.
Not sure uefn has the equivalent of editor utility widgets

Unfortunately they are not exposed (to my understanding). But yeah, this can help someone googling this for UE5 (or maybe Epic adds this to all engines, since mass renaming is broken in UE5 anyway heh)!
Posting here too for users trying to mass rename (no workaround for numeration exists atm, but at least we have this)
Thank you for your feedback. While I cannot guarantee a response, I can confirm that this has been forwarded to the appropriate team.
