Macro in step name not translated when logged

When I set up a “loop” in VBP, I like to include the loop variable as part of the step name so that I can easily see where I’m at. Here is an example of a loop that uses a macro in the step name:

....Set RELEASE_PROJECT_LIST macro
....For Each Project in RELEASE_PROJECT_LIST...
........Set NEXT_PROJECT macro
........Build Project: %NEXT_PROJECT%

When running VBP through the GUI, the tooltip for the step “Build Project: %NEXT_PROJECT%” correctly translates %NEXT_PROJECT% into its current value. However, when I look at this step in the log file, it is written as “Build Project: %NEXT_PROJECT%”.

Is there any way to tell the logger to translate the step name to show the actual embedded macro value? This would be very useful for logging purposes.

The v6.2 beta build correctly expands macros and/or script in the step name when logging.

Happy to hear that will be supported. I'll just leave my code "as is" and wait for the next release.
