About Copy Object Name to Data

Copy Object Name to Data is a Blender add‑on from developer Xury46 that provides a simple operator for copying object names to object data. In Blender, objects have a name (displayed in orange) and their data has a separate name (displayed in green); matching these can be useful. The operator appears in the right‑click context menu of the Outliner. Version 1.1.1 added an inverted option that copies the data name back to the object. The add‑on is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, requires no special permissions, and is written in Python. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, with source code available on the developer’s GitHub.
