    Right..
    Well you can't change the builtin ones, but you can use DisplayName with tracks.

    And if you insert a '/' in the path, you can override the menu category.

    [DisplayName("MyMenu/MyTrack")]


    It's not ideal, and we plan to change it so that you can override the menu item directly, but for now, that's your best bet.

    hello,but I think it's not perfect, i make a namespace(such as MyCustomTrack) on my class, but when I use [DisplayName("TextTrack")], finally show in the menu is "MyCustomTrack/TextTrack", and I don't want show the namespace when I use DisplayAttribe, I want to fully override it.
    Thank you very much.

    We know.

    Due to other things that we have released before, we will need to make a breaking change to Timeline in order to release a new Attribute to do this. So it may take a bit of time for us to get there.

    I was searching around and didn't find a direct solution, but since a TrackAsset is a ScriptableObject. I just changed the name property of the asset and it updated in the TimelineAsset. I dynamically change the value based on the configuration on the TimelineAsset.

    If you don't need to dynamically change the value, you can click on the name on the TimelineTrack and it will become editable.

    Commenting in case a lost developer stumbles here! If there is a more appropriate way please let me know!
