Model picker can use the short name for the fable model family

Model picker entries in the fable family can now be stored under the short name 'fable' when that name points to the same model

What probably matters to youSection of the release
What

Each entry in the model picker, the list you choose a model from, stores a value that says which model was picked. Before, that value was a short family name (an alias) only when the entry already had one set. Now an entry in the fable model family also gets the short name fable when it has no other short name. This only happens when fable points to the same model as the entry.

Why

Picking a fable model from the list can now be recorded under its short name rather than its full name.
