Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.17134 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1070/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 431.86

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.82 (sub 1), branch: master, commit date: 2019-11-22 18:14, hash: 373e936e3e
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
group nodes don't get input names set to the name of the output they're connected to.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
select some nodes in the compositor and then press ctrl + G to create a group from them. The group inputs are all called image. Its easy to change the names if you have just a few inputs, but if you have 20 or 30, then once you're inside the group (where you need to be to rename the inputs), then it's really difficult to know which input is which.

after grouping:

This is not a bug. It also would only make sense for Renderlayer or Image Input nodes. But inputs/outputs of most other nodes are just named "Image" anyway. It could be a nice addition for addons like Node Wrangler, but it's not a bug, but a feature request.

ah ok, apologoies, I could have sworn this worked in 2.79.

If you can make it happen in 2.79, please tell me how, maybe I am missing something. But I just tried and the resulting NodeGroup inputs where also all called "Image".
Should be easy to add though...
