Removing "Automation by [NAME]" from home.command.Notification

I've recently been experimenting with the Google Home Automation script editor and have been testing different actions with various starters/conditions.

I've noticed that any home.command.Notification type event, always prefixes the notifications in the body with "Automation by [name]", [name] being the first name of the original household member who created the routine.

I'm not sure I see the point of this being always included in notifications. I live alone, so I'm the only one who's going to ever create the routines under the household, so having "Automation by James" on each notification sent, seems a waste of characters being taken up in the body and not useful.

It would be nice to have the option to remove this prefix if required, with an extra struct property, e.g. prefix (true/false) or similar.

Did you ever find a solution to remove the "Automation by [NAME]" text from the notification?
