Easy (?) Shapeshifter questions

Since I haven't visted this part of the forum regularly in a couple years, I have no idea if this has been covered before.  I didn't see it in a casual search, so thought I'd just ask away.

Is there a way I can get the CUSTOM_FORM commands to say something besides FIRST FORM, SECOND FORM, etc?  It didn't immediately jump out at me in the FFX CC, so I'm not sure where else to look.  I'm relatively comfortable enough to edit it into the strings.txt (I've met with about 90% success for any entries I've added) if that's what's required.

Another thing I've noticed with some Temp Forms (in FFEdit), I've given some an attack or two with knockback, and against regular thugs, they show up as 0%, even if it's set as far up as HIGH.  Am I missing something?  Each form I have these on is significantly heavier than a typical thug, so I wouldn't think mass was the issue.  Any ideas?

I think that, like transform, you can actually backspace over those names in FFXEdit and type in whatever you want it to say.

I've found that I can indeed type what I want for the Summoner minions [spoiler][/spoiler], however, the Shapeshifter attribute only shows one Command field.[spoiler][/spoiler]  Would the Command field for the Temp Form be where I'd want to do this? [spoiler][/spoiler]  And if so, does it need to be done *before* sending it to DAT?  Is there a way to make that change *after* it's in the .dat, or if it was just entered into FFEdit manually?

I don't know on hand exactly how FFX handles the command strings, but I am pretty sure that it doesn't make any changes to strings.txt or strings.dat. So, any changes you make to those string in the FFX Control Centre should appear the next time you start a campaign or Rumble Room mission.

And, I would assume the temp form command is the one that appears for the main form to transform to that form, but I am not sure.
