In the TSC call, there was discussion of changing the action name to `setgeopoint`. Let's finalize that naming at [Spec addition proposal: location preload - #14 by LN](https://forum.getodk.org/t/spec-addition-proposal-location-preload/10768/14) and then this spec can be made consistent with the action name. > [@martijnr](#): > > And we'll likely have to add an 'end of record' event Excellent point. Is that an argument for naming the type something more like `auto-start-location`, then? Or perhaps just `start-location` since the fact that it's linked to a particular event implies that it's automatic? That would be nicely analogous to the `start` and `end` time preloads. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.getodk.org/t/xlsform-spec-proposal-auto-location-type-for-background-location-capture-with-setlocation-action/20831)._
