LockDown Browser Forcing Name Change?

I'm testing out the new LockDown Browser feature and noticed that it changes the name of a quiz to "'quiz name'- Requires Respondus LockDown Browser". I would rather not have my quiz be synced with such a title.  I went to fix the title but had an error message in the LockDown Browser for said quiz, which was resolved by changing the name to the longer title.

I would rather not have such a title synced into my gradebook.  I'm assuming I can change the name back after the fact in Canvas or, at the least, change it in my school's gradebook, Focus, once I've finished syncing the grades.  I'd rather not have to do these extra steps so I'm wondering if anyone knows another workaround for this or if this should be posed as a suggestion?  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @ZACHARYYINDRA 

The LockDown Browser integration relies (in part) on having the '- Requires Respondus LockDown Browser' appended to the title when a test is set to require LockDown Browser.  

If your school is using something like PowerSchool to sync grades back to the SIS, it is possible for Respondus to adjust that requirement for your school, but it's not something that can be done just for individual courses or test.
