How to export Spice-netlist without new annotation

Schematic Simulation (Ngspice)
1

I have a schematic for which I want my current source to have the name iin.
When I export the Spice-netlist I am always prompted/forced to do a new annotation
of the schematic, this way the current source is renamed to iin1 but I’d prefer
to keep the name iin and export the Spice netlist as such (i.e. keeping iin as the name
and without doing a new annotation).
Is there a way to export the Spice netlist without having to annotate?

kind regards,
Hugo

Hi Hugo,

I cannot say this is 100% true, but from what I understand all names in KiCAD must have a number at the end. This is a KiCAD limitation. The only way I can think of getting the name would be changing it inside the netlist itself.
