Is it possible to return instrument name as "VDAX-NEW VOLATILITY INDEX - PRICE INDEX", instead of "VDANEW"?

#Sample Code
reqs =[]
reqs.append(ds.post_user_request(tickers='VDAXNEW',fields=['NAME'],start='-1D', kind = 0))#Static data
reqs.append(ds.post_user_request(tickers='VDAXNEW', fields=['PI'], start='2025-04-01', end='0D', freq = "D"))#Timeseries data
ds.get_bundle_data(bundleRequest=reqs)

#Response
[ Instrument Datatype Value Currency
0 VDAXNEW NAME VDAX-NEW VOLATILITY INDEX E ,
Instrument VDAXNEW
Field PI
Currency E

Thank you for reaching out to us.

The library doesn't have this feature. It can only print the names on the console by appending '|N' to the instrument name.

ds.get_data(tickers='VDAXNEW|N', fields=['PI'],start='2025-04-01', end='0D', freq = "D")
