Description:
When defining the default values for default object names under Workbench options (Tools->Options...->Model tab) there are four possible variables to use:

%table% – the table associated with the object 
%column% – the column associated with the object 
%stable% – the source table 
%dtable% – the destination table 

Since I have scheme that sometimes uses different column names in the relations, I would really like to easily be able to see these relationships in the diagram.

How to repeat:
Not a bug to repeat - feature request.

Suggested fix:
I suggest two new variables in order to automatically produce these:

%scolumn% - the source table's column(s) in the connection
%dcolumn% - the destination table's column(s) in the connection

Thank you for a reasonable feature request.

This was already implemented. However preferences window tooltip didn't mention %dcolumn% in the help tooltip, I've updated that.
