SVG Layer name changes not working

Hi @RachelWillingham, just to give you another avenue to explore, here is script for exporting the active document as Web Optimized SVG. You can play with the different save options properties by uncommenting the lines that I have commented (lines that start with "//"). I did a quick test and the settings I have export the SVG objects as XML elements with a "data-name" attribute that is the layer/item name in Illustrator.

var doc = app.activeDocument,
    options = new ExportOptionsWebOptimizedSVG(),
    exportFolderPath = Folder.desktop + '/SVG Testing/';

options.artboardRange = '';
// options.artboardRange = '1-3';
options.coordinatePrecision = 3;
options.fontType = SVGFontType.SVGFONT;
// options.fontType = SVGFontType.OUTLINEFONT;
options.cssProperties = SVGCSSPropertyLocation.ENTITIES;
// options.cssProperties = SVGCSSPropertyLocation.PRESENTATIONATTRIBUTES;
// options.cssProperties = SVGCSSPropertyLocation.STYLEATTRIBUTES;
// options.cssProperties = SVGCSSPropertyLocation.STYLEELEMENTS;
options.rasterImageLocation = RasterImageLocation.EMBED;
// options.rasterImageLocation = RasterImageLocation.LINK
// options.rasterImageLocation = RasterImageLocation.PRESERVE
options.saveMultipleArtboards = true;
options.svgId = SVGIdType.SVGIDMINIMAL;
// options.svgId = SVGIdType.SVGIDREGULAR;
// options.svgId = SVGIdType.SVGIDUNIQUE;
options.svgMinify = false;
options.svgResponsive = false;

var exportFolder = Folder(exportFolderPath);
if (!exportFolder.exists)
    exportFolder.create();

doc.exportFile(exportFolder, ExportType.WOSVG, options);

Hi @RachelWillingham 

Thanks for reaching out. We have recently released an update Ai 26.3.1. Please update to the latest build using this link - Check for the latest update and let us know if that helps to resolve the issue.

Hello,

The SVG that I have exported has a bunch of extra numbers added to the Group ID in the code, and I can't figure out how to prevent that. My developer and I are thinking that it may be a buffer to prevent duplicate ID names, but we have tried different layer names in the Ai file and it is still adding the numbers.

There have been a few instances where there are no extra numbers added to the end, and I can't figure out what is different between the layers.

We are at a loss, so any help or insight would be appreciated!

EXAMPLE: This image illustrates the extra numbers added to the code, and a few instances when there are not any extra numbers added (under "Back View").
