07/30/2025, 2:10 AMHow do I add a "name" field to an existing ChatMessage object in LiveKit Python SDK?
I'm trying to set message.name = "AgentName" on ChatMessage objects from chat_ctx.items, but I get the error: "ChatMessage" object has no field
"name".
What's the correct way to:
1. Add a name field to an existing ChatMessage?
2. Or create a new ChatMessage with a name field to replace an existing one?
3. Or modify the ChatContext to include agent names in assistant messages?
I need to add agent attribution to assistant messages for proper tracking across agent handoffs.
