Multicam clips do not show custom clip names when cut into timeline

[SoundW0rm93]

Hello,

I am encountering a bug with Multicam source clips when they are cut into a timeline. I've attached three screenshots to illustrate my issue. 

I have synced multiple camera angles to create multicam source clips, and given them custom names according to the scene and take (image 1). However, once these clips are cut into my timeline, the custom names disappear, and the only name that is displayed is the filename from the source (image 2)

It seems that there is an option in the wrench menu of the timeline to "Show source clip name and label" (image 3), however even when this option is unchecked, Premiere Pro still does not display the custom multicam clip name in the timeline. This is an beyond frustrating- editors need to be able to look at the clips in their timeline and know exactly which scene and take they are looking at.

A note to Adobe's engineers: please do not suggest some convoluted work around- this is clearly a bug and should be very simple. It does not make sense why the "show source clip name" option doesn't work for multicam clips. FIX THIS PROBLEM.

Having this same issue. The OP is 100% correct that it should be the default for Multicams to show up with their custom clip names on the timeline.

Yes. We really need the option to toggle between the two types of behaviour AFTER the fact.

It would be a nice option to have the Audio names be able to show their clip names if this is an ongoing feature request.
