Cannot customise the labels of events, conditions or actions

Problem/Motivation

When adding an event, condition or action to a model, if you customise its label the changes are discarded when it is saved.

For instance, if you change the “Send email” action label to “Send an email to Bert”, the action will still have “Send email” as its label after it has been saved.

This is particularly problematic when you have multiple conditions or actions of the same type added to a model, as they will have the same labels. When adding successors, the result is that the select list will contain items with the same label - making it guesswork selecting the one that you want.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new model
2. Add an event and make some changes to the default label
3. Save the event
4. View the list of events added to the model

You should find that the event label is the default.

5. Edit the event

You should find that the label text field contains the default label, not the custom one that you previously attempted to save.

6. Repeat above steps with conditions and actions.

You should find similar behaviour.
