    This works.

    Tone_Name="piano"
    panel:getModulatorByName("Fav_Button_Name"):getComponent():setPropertyString("componentVisibleName",tostring(Tone_Name))

    getModulatorByName expects a const string as an argument, but by passing Fav_Button_Name you are passing a non existent Lua variable.

    The tostring() function is necessary if you are passing an integer, but not necessary in this case.

    You could also do this to write the Fav_Button_Object Visible Name with the name of the button you clicked.

    
myMethod = function(--[[ CtrlrModulator --]] mod, --[[ number --]] value, --[[ number --]] source)

--panel:getComponent(tostring(x)):setPropertyString("componentVisibleName",tostring(x))
local mName= L(mod:getName())
Fav_Button_Name=panel:getModulatorByName("Fav_Button_Name"):getComponent()
Fav_Button_Name:setPropertyString("componentVisibleName",mName)
end

    Regards,

    Ctrlr
