Visual Flow record creation displaying ID instead of value

Hi All,
Since I'm now exploring Flows this may be a very simple question. I'm trying to transfer a value from one text field on custom object1 to the Name field on another custom object2.  I created a Record Lookup to get the value of the object1 field, assigning it to an SObject variable, then a Record Create to assign the SObject variable to the name field on object2. However, the name field on object2 gets populated with the 18-digit ID instead of the value.  How can I get value instead of the ID.
Thanks.

Is the destiination Name field configured as an auto-number type - this would explain the behavior.
However if the Name field is configured as Text type your Flow should work as expected.

Thanks for the input Debra! It wasn't an auto-number field, but I got it to work after changing the variable type from SObject Variable to Variable.
