Performing an import of a FlexGroup with default settings (without --no-manage or --no-rename) does not rename FlexGroup to match PVC name

Performing an import of a FlexGroup with default settings (without --no-manage or --no-rename) does not rename FlexGroup to match PVC name. By contrast, an import of a FlexVol with default settings does rename the FlexVol to match the PVC name. The expectation is that the behavior should be the same for both types of volumes, or we should document why the behavior is different if this is by design. The customer environment is Trident 24.10 with ONTAP 9.15.1P7.

Thankyou @arndt-netapp for filing this issue. We observe this inconsistent behavior with flexvol/flexgroup driver while importing volumes.

o Flexvol: volume import had renamed the flexvol & junction path names as well aligning with PVC namings/prefix.
o Flexgroup: volume import does NOT rename parent_volume/constituents & junction_path. And failed to mount due to junction path not matching. We had to manually unmount/mount volume on new junction_path before PVC mount.
