System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.22621-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.6.0 NVIDIA 546.29

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.1.0 Release Candidate, branch: blender-v4.1-release, commit date: 2024-03-14 17:18, hash: 335ff6efab67
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
I recorded a screen to better explain the problem. In the Noise node, the name of the drop-down menu will be displayed above, such as Dimensions in Noise node, but in the Menu Switch grouped node, it will always be displayed as the Default Value, and it cannot be modified. I think it is more correct to display it as Menu. Because this is consistent with the item name of ui.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
[Please describe the exact steps needed to reproduce the issue]
[Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible)]

I think this may not be an issue with grouping. There is no way to add a name or a description to the menu switch itself.

The only way to sort of name it is to connect it to a group and then it get's a name of Menu

Naming the connection is displayed correctly as modifier but nodes don't have names displayed for dropdowns.

The way I would expect it to work is I should be able to add a name and a description to the Menu Switch node which would then be propagated when connecting to a group. With the name given to the group connection overwriting the name from Menu Switch (works for labels in modifiers) and possibly overwrite the name displayed on hover for nodes.
