Is there any way to specify VM instance name using Openstack builder?

[ile...@gmail.com]

By default, packer creates VM instance named 'image_name'. However our private cloud has more strict standard for instance name (e.g. dot(.) can not be used for instance name).

So is there any way to specify the instance name? I found the old post for this demand, and the workaround stated is using user_data or instance_metadata, but it does not work.

No this can't currently be changed, but this functionality could easily added.  PR's are welcome. Or open a feature request.
