Loop Grid: Naming templates and choosing number of columns

[brent-e]

Prerequisites

• I have searched for similar feature requests in both open and closed discussions and cannot find an existing request.
• I have verified that the feature is still missing from the latest stable versions of Elementor or Elementor Pro.

What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe..

Two suggestions for making the Loop Grid easier to work with:

Describe the solution you'd like.

1. Assign a name to the template when saving it. Currently, when a user first creates a template it's saved with an arbitrary name that's not shown, e.g. Elementor Loop Item #825. Finding that template later for reuse means digging through the Theme Builder. It would be nice if I could assign it a name when I first save it, e.g. Events Loop Item or whatever.

2. Choose the number of columns when first creating the grid. Currently it's not possible to choose the number of columns when first creating the grid. This becomes an issue when you need a single-column grid: the first time you edit the template it's displayed in a 1/3 container, making it difficult to visually set up a horizontal layout, because the elements are squished into a small space. (That's no longer a problem after the template is first saved and you can then choose the number of columns.)

Describe alternatives you've considered.
