Root Sheet name

Is there a way to change the name of the root sheet and then get it to appear under ${SHEETNAME} on a drawing sheet as currently it does not.
Changing added sheet names is easy to do and shows under ${SHEETNAME}.
There is probably a good technical reason for this but don’t know if there some way of doing it. At the moment I enter the name manually. No big problem if not, I sometimes forget to add the sheet name doing it manually.

KiCad very much likes the name of the project to be the same as the name of the root sheet.

So the easiest way is to use Project Manager / File / Save As … to rename the whole project.

Not sure I understand.
I create a project and give it a name.
I click on ‘schematic editor’ and it loads a blank worksheet. On this worksheet I can add other pages and name them. There is no option (that I can see) to rename the original worksheet it is always Root(page1).

Edit: Oops.
That Root is just a generic name and you probably can’t change it.

(Deleted screenshot).

yes, i was asking me that too, maybe is worth a feature request?
