Capture Menu Sequencer Box won’t rename new image set

I am using latest version and I have tried the beta version and am just trying to run a sequence of darks using the main menu “Capture” menu dropdown, I then use “start capture” option, then “deep sky option” at bottom of that window. I set say six sets and name the title. It the title part that doesn’t seem to work. However If I simply follow that process and enter my desired new object name in the object box the saved files are always named a previous name…”andromeda”, regardless of what I put in the object name box in this drop down. And regardless of what I put in the main Target name box. If however I use normal simple settings and say 20 frames then that records the images with my selected target name As expected. The only way I can get to change the name for a sequence is if I go to Main menu and choose “Sequence” and follow that path then I can rename the file set but that seems an unnecessarily awkward process. I am sure that in the past I have used the deep sky capture drop down naming box successfully but this is not happening now. Any ideas would be welcome. I can send log if that helps.
