## Description

In the variant creation/edit, the "Name" attribute behaves differently from a type. In a type, the name is public, while in variant, it is not.

*   Add a caption to the name field for a variant:
    
    *   _This is an internal name only visible to administrators. Variants replace the original parent type, so if this variant is used in a project, it will appear as "{parent type}" to all members._
