Dimension Igniter Problems

When you create a dimension, it forces you to make a brand new item to ignite that portal; That's fine since you could just edit said item to suite your needs but you can't? 

The item registers in the game, but the only thing you can edit is the item's texture. You can only access the item within the dimension menu, which only has the texture changes. You cannot change its name. Even then, you can't make a crafting recipe or have it drop from an ore since it doesn't appear within that menu thing listing all modded and vanilla blocks/items/ Even in the creative tab order menu it appears as the dimension itself instead of the item.                

Is there a way to get anywhere or are we stuck with finding out the correct procedure to fit our agenda? 

***I'm an idiot. #1 you can rename igniters, #2 it doesn't pop up as the item in the inventory it pops up as the dimension itself.
