Very good idea, additionally an option to use the container name within that container could be really useful, which is posted in this idea: Ability to Use the Container Name as a Constant

 

Alteryx potentially implementing both functionalities (container name in both output log and output anchor of control containers as a new column and using container name in the container as a "variable constant") could open up a lot of new possibilities for better automation.

Yes, that one gets my upvote.  Containers have no annotation button... would be nice to be able to rename them as well :)
