When using Autopilot for Entra-only devices I can select to rename the device using the %serial% variable.  That option isn't available when using Autopilot for hybrid joined devices.  I have to rename using %random% and then rename the device which creates multiple objects in Entra. 

Is this something that's on the drawing board?

    The device actually is renamed to %serial% before MDM enrollment, but unfortunately is overwritten later when the device is hybrid-joined.  This is a known pain point that's on our backlog.
