iFeature names

Does anybody know how to update the browser in Inventor with the name of the iFeature that I insert into a part.

For example....

If you insert a iFeature called "Rectangular Pocket" into a part and then run a custom macro I want that macro to automatically update the browser description to
"Rectangular Pocket". I can do this manually but I need a macro to do this automatically.Can you please help.Thanks in advance. IsoCam group.

Can't this be defined in the iFeature?

The name of the iFeature can (must) be changed upon
the creation of the iFeature (see attached screenshot)

I would recreate the iFeature so that this would happen automatically on placement. No macro or manual operation needed from then on.
