[MCPE-46678] I can't name tag wandering traders or villagers

I am unable to name tag wandering traders and villagers so they despawn when I go away from them. I tried to stop them from despawning by tradeing with them but nothing seemed to be working. I even had them in minecarts.

Kyle Morley that doesn’t help me. I need to name tag the traders.

You're supposed to be crouching to be able to name Villagers and Wandering traders

Renaming the wandering trader will still despawn, see MC-143982. And not naming wandering traders is intentional, see MCPE-41267. Yeah the one thing I know is that you cannot rename wandering traders even with a renamed spawn egg.
