No, I suggest you send a feature request for that (I have for some reason not done it myself).

I tried to change the name of the block in the exported JSON file (and import it again) but it does not work. You can however change the numbers in the JSON file and successfully import it.

Hi @xyz_1011

You can add comments with useful information on what the block does by right-clicking on a block and selecting the Edit Comment option.

More info on how to add comments to a block can be found here :
