This is an age old issue in emoncms where 2 different methods (indexed csv and name:value pairs) are used side by side and the same db field is used for either the index or the name. Therefore if you were to set that field on emoncms.org to “pulsecount1” (for example) it would no longer be found as input “21” and a new input would be created if you posted via the bulk upload (as emonhub does). These 2 methods are therefore not interchangeable. For now all you can do is add the name to the description field on emoncms.org.
Take a look at the Development: Indexed Inputs thread. There is a possible solution in the pipeline but it will not be that soon, first we need to test as a feature branch, then eventually bring those changes into the main emoncms core and then emoncms.org runs behind the main repo and doesn’t always get all new features,
