The bug
A renamed name tag item can be used on a placed cushion entity to rename it.
⚠️ This issue is not reporting that cushions can display custom names when renamed with an anvil and placed – that is intended and was specifically added this preview.
How to reproduce
Place a cushion
Get a name tag
Rename it in an anvil
Use the name tag on the cushion
Expected behavior
It should not work
Observed behavior
The name tag is consumed and used
Notes
Boats and minecarts have the correct behavior – they can be renamed and placed, and show their names, but won’t accept a name tag item. Cushions behave the same way in Java Edition, but in Bedrock they currently do accept name tag items.
