Hello,

Try this example:

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam, traceback

def run(context):
    ui = None
    try:
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui  = app.userInterface

        docName = app.activeDocument.name

        ui.messageBox(docName)

    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

This doesn't seen to work. And it doesn't stay. Next time I go to edit it is
gone

I should have read your post more carefully before replying.

AFAIK, it's not possible to use the API to populate a opened dialog.

Did you ever find a way to do this?  I have been looking for the same thing.  It would be immensely more maintainable to have CAM files matching the part name perhaps concatenated with the setup name automatically.

Here's a little script that should do it.

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam, traceback

def run(context):
    app = adsk.core.Application.get()
    ui = app.userInterface
    try:
        # Get the design from the active document.
        doc = app.activeDocument
        des: adsk.fusion.Design = doc.products.itemByProductType('DesignProductType')
        cam: adsk.cam.CAM = doc.products.itemByProductType('CAMProductType')

        # Get the first setup in Manufacturing.
        setup = cam.setups[0]

        # Get the parameter for the program comment.
        param = setup.parameters.itemByName('job_programComment')

        # Change the value to the same name as the document.
        stringVal: adsk.cam.StringParameterValue = param.value
        stringVal.value = doc.name        
    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))
