Change task name at runtime

Using TeamSite 6.7.1
WFM 1.0.0.0

I have a Review task which is reviewed by multiple groups and its name is let say A.
When workflow starts it create multiple review tasks in parallel and name them as A-1, A-2, A-3….
However I want to change the name of the review tasks by the group name .Now the question is how can I do the same.

i tried following code

my $approvalG1 = TeamSite::WFtask->new("40468");
my $status=$approvalG1->SetAttribute("name","ABC");
my $status1=$approvalG1->SetAttribute("lock","t");

In this code i am able to change the value of lock attribute but not name,though both are at same level and attribute of a same task.

The simple answer is "because it isn't supported".
Feel free to contact support to log it as a feature request, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it to become an actual feature.
Task names are symbolic of the implementation and aren't meant to be 100% "user friendly" - Instead - try putting better, more descriptive names in the description of the task - which is something that tends to show up in emails and task details.
