Instead, the name of the Space at the time of the last update of the template is used.
I intentionally named the Space differently from the Template to avoid the following error but every time I update the template, the template name is not used.
The āTemplate Nameā in the sharing dialog does not determine the name of the new space when it is installed. That name is taken from whatever the actual space name is.
Itās a bit confusing, but you could actually use āSmoranās awesome new widgetā as the āTemplate nameā in the dialog, and the space that is created in the destination workspace would still be named āNewcomer (Template)ā
Indeed, thatās what I observed. Thatās why I identified this behaviour as a bug 
I use this Space template in the same workspace. It means that I need to change the name of the Space before updating the template and rename it again after so that I donāt get a conflict error at installation timeā¦
Whatās the purpose of the āTemplate Nameā?
Well, since the mechanism for sharing a single space is the same as for sharing multiple spaces, the āTemplate nameā is simply that: the name of the template 
The name(s) of any space(s) in the template will be whatever the name(s) of the shared space(s) was/were at the time the template was last updated.
But I get that this is not immediately obvious 
OK, I get it nowā¦ As I donāt see where this āTemplate Nameā is used and Iām only templating 1 space, I was expecting it to be used as the target Space initial name 
So I guess what I want is more a Feature request: āBe able to specify a name for the target Space different from the original oneā Or āSpace creation from a Template does not fail if a Space with the same name exist, create it with (1) insteadā

Itās used in the name of the sharing URL, and if you embed the URL somewhere, it will show up in the preview:
but it isnāt obvious that it wonāt be used for the space name when only sharing one space.
Weāll take your feedback on board, thx.
OK, I understand ā thanks for the help.
