Getting the name of a "self object"

[liamob1]

HELP! I am trying to get my FM layout to have a self aware object. The object is named appropriately and the object (For example, a portal) would then use the name to filter with some form of get(name) method. Can this be done?

 In theory i want singular row portals with the name "Portal 1" to be copy an pasted. When pasting FM will automatically name this "Portal 2" (3,4,5,6 and so on). The filter will then use a "RightValue(Get(Name))" to filter down on this number.  

CAN THIS BE DONE?   I am racking my brains trying to figure a way of doing this and making this layout dynamic >_<

I don't think what you're describing can be done. I believe object names are only available to the script engine. But you could achieve the same effect via other methods, e.g., using the Initial row in the Portal Setup dialog.
