How to set name of user water level in python API?

Question

waterlevel_s = g_i .waterlevel(( -50 , self . WaterLevelLeft ), ( 0 , self . WaterLevelLeft )) 
 
 I have a water level as can be seen above. I would like to give it a name so I can retrieve it later. I have tried " waterlevel_s.Name = "WL_Left_" + self .WaterLevelLeft", but to no avail.

Hi 
 This only works with user-generated water levels: the water levels generated by boreholes cannot be updated. Also note that each object should have a valid, safe object name, meaning e.g. it cannot contain spaces, start with a number, or have unsupported characters in the name, like a dot or a dash/hyphen. If you have a user water level, as you have in the above example it should work: 
 # set water level elevation:
WaterLevelLeft = -1.5

# create a new PLAXIS User water level:
waterlevel_s = g_i.waterlevel((-50, WaterLevelLeft), (0, WaterLevelLeft))

# construct the new name for the water level:
newWLname = "WL_Left_" + str(WaterLevelLeft)

# remove any incorrect object name conditions:
newWLname = newWLname.replace(".","_").replace("-","_")

# finally, set the .Name value for this new waterlevel:
waterlevel_s.Name = newWLname
