Update set names should be somewhat meaningful without having to look at
the contents of the XML. ServiceNow has some recommendations on HI and on the Docs site.

With that being said, generally best to have initials, date, some key (task) or description.

Update Set Naming Convention

• Make the names meaningful to the task at hand. The update set name should consist of the following.

  • Related task record, version, release or sprint number
  • Brief description
  • Developer's initials

• For example, if working on Incident Management form layout from a Story. The update set name could be
  STRY00123_Incident Mgmt Form Layout_ABC

  • Update Set Description

• Put in as much detail as needed to ensure that if another member of the team looks at the update set record they can see what the contents are.

• This becomes especially important when working on an entire track. If you are working on Incident Management as a whole with multiple stories assigned to you, you should list all related stories in the description of the update set record.

• The update set name should consist of the following if working on an entire track:

  • Date, version, release or sprint number
  • Brief description
  • Developer's initials
  • Example: JB-2018-09-20 Combine both inc record producers

We added some JavaScript to pre-fill the initials, and date for consistency on the name field. Below makes the following output;
JB-2018-09-20

javascript: (function(){
  var r = '';
  var u = gs.getUser();
  r += (u.getFirstName()+'')[0];
  r += (u.getLastName()+'')[0];
  r += '-';
  var d = new GlideDateTime();
  var ms = d.getNumericValue();
  r += new Date(ms).toISOString().split('T')[0];
  r += ' ';return r;}
  )()
