Feature Request: Allow dynamic extension title changes via script/defaults write #267

Hi,

I would like to request a feature that allows changing the title of individual extension ids dynamically via script, for example using defaults write on the corresponding plist.

Use Case:

In some environments it would be very useful to adjust the tile title dynamically based on certain conditions. For example:
• A script checks whether a specific application is installed.
• Depending on the result, the tile title changes (e.g. from “Install App” to “Reinstall App” or “App Installed”).
• Or a script evaluates system state (compliance, configuration, version check, etc.) and updates the tile title accordingly.

This would allow administrators to create more context-aware and dynamic user interfaces without modifying the main configuration and change scopes.

Proposed Implementation Idea:

If the tile title could be read dynamically from the plist at runtime, administrators could modify it via:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/nl.root3.support.plist "${extension_id_title}" -String "New Title"

This would significantly increase flexibility and make it easier to integrate SupportApp into automated workflows and management scripts.
I know something similar is already possible with changing the subtitle, but the main title would be useful aswell.

Thanks for considering this feature!
