Weren't we able to change the reservation name at one point?

The ability was there...
...then it wasn't: AA.com "reservation name"—no longer can change it & workaround
...then it was again: Changing reservation name on aa.com returns 8 Mar 2017
...then it wasn't again: Change trip name... and https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/amer...pp-online.html
...which is where we are now. No changing trip names.

i just mean people being crass. “JFEGGF” being converted to offensive words. I mean, there’s a snowflake somewhere that might get offended lol

The only person that would see it would be the person whose account it was and unlikely to offend him or herself. I would suspect that AA just didn't feel a need to maintain that function rather than that

I finally got sick of this and wrote a greasemonkey script to replace the useless reservation name with the record locator. Since I'm new, I can't seem to post the link to the script, but here's the code. Someone with more reputation can link to domain=pastes.io/, path = raw/ohreaytel8#.user.js, which would allow someone with greasemonkey (firefox, where I tested) or tampermonkey (chrome, untested) to use it.

I used to put inside jokes in them. They'd be meaningless and harmless to anyone who saw them (not that they would) but would give me a chuckle.
