Naming workspaces with rules

General
1

I am trying to set persistent workspace names in my bar. Here is the Hyprland doc for setting workspace rules. Based on this doc, I made these two attempts of which both don’t change the names of my workspaces:

hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = "1", default_name = "slider" })
hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = "2", "name:Hello"})

What should I really be using name a workspace?

Why don’t you think it’s working? I just ran a test, created a workspace and window rule:

hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = "21", monitor = "DP-3", default_name = "testing" })
hl.window_rule({
	name = "testing",
	match = { class = "org.kde.dolphin" },
	workspace = 21,
})

Dolphin started in workspace 21, as expected, hyprctl clients returned this:

Window 560710a88cd0 -> /home/ajgringo619/Documents/My Games/Grim Dawn/.softcore — Dolphin:
	mapped: 1
	hidden: 0
	visible: 1
	acceptsInput: 1
	at: 2380,140
	size: 1000,800
	workspace: 21 (testing)
	floating: 1
	monitor: 0
	class: org.kde.dolphin
	title: /home/ajgringo619/Documents/My Games/Grim Dawn/.softcore — Dolphin
	initialClass: org.kde.dolphin
	initialTitle: /home/ajgringo619/Documents/My Games/Grim Dawn/.softcore — Dolphin

	pinned: 0
	pinFullscreened: 0
	fullscreen: 0
	fullscreenClient: 0
	fullscreenHandler: default
	allowedOverFullscreen: 1
	grouped: 0
	tags: 
	swallowing: 0
	focusHistoryID: 1
	inhibitingIdle: 0
	xdgTag: 
	xdgDescription: 
	contentType: none
	tearingHint: 0
	stableID: 180000f2

Workspace 21, name = testing.

For me this also doesn’t work. The key seems to be using a number for the workspace, rather than a string
So:

hl.workspace_rule({ workspace = 1, default_name = "slider" })
