Ssue with Grasshopper.CentralSettings.CanvasFullNames Not Persisting

I’ve been working on a custom Grasshopper component and encountered an issue related to the Grasshopper.CentralSettings.CanvasFullNames setting.

My problem is that when I save a .gh file with Display Full Names enabled and then reopen it, Grasshopper.CentralSettings.CanvasFullNames returns false. I suspect this happens because my default settings have Nicknames as the default display mode.

This is causing an issue in my component because my SetOutputData logic depends on this setting:

dataAccess.SetData(GetParamsActualName(parameter), data);

public string GetParamsActualName(P parameter) 
{
    return Grasshopper.CentralSettings.CanvasFullNames ? Name : NickName;
}

This can not be changed, and I can not use the SetData() with index.
Since CanvasFullNames resets to false on reopening, the expected parameter names are incorrect, leading to errors.

My questions:

  1. Can I somehow access the data to check how the input parameter names are currently displayed on the component?
  2. Is Grasshopper.CentralSettings.CanvasFullNames stored within the .gh file, or does it always revert to the user’s default settings?

I appreciate any guidance you can provide!
