Would it be beneficial to my career advancement to upgrade my workplace designation?
I'm in a software company for 3 years. During this time I've successfully upgraded my designation from Jr. Software Developer to Software Developer. In the meantime, I've also further upgraded my development and programming skills.
Now, using the skills acquired during my time there, I've developed several Hybrid and Web applications including freelance work. Now, our appraisals are approaching and this is also an opportunity to upgrade my designation. After searching on the internet I think my designation should be Full Stack .NET Developer.
Apart from the technical requirements of that, I have also full filled some basic soft skills that I perceive to be essential to becoming a full stack developer.
Question
Now my question breaks into three parts
1- Should I make a case to upgrade my designation from Software Developer to Full Stack DotNet Developer?
2- What should be the job title, if I'm doing full stack DotNet and hybrid application development?

Your title has little to no impact in your current job, it'll impact if a recruiter searches for "Full stack" rather than "software developer", but that's about it. Your manager/boss likely won't care if you change your title as your role will remain the same.

@JayGould Yes, my line manager not care of it. But like you said recruiter searches, that's the reason behind my question I want to upgrade for this reason. So I easily apply for foreign jobs and other job offers which is related to my upgraded designation.

Removed the various lists of attributes from the question in order to make it readable and more to the point of an actual question that can be answered within the scope of this SE. On topic, if you don't simultaneously ask for a raise per se to go with that new title, you could even ask for a title of "Chief Unicorn UX Ninja Developer" and your superior most likely wouldn't even bat an eye since it costs them nothing...

How formalized is your company? In my experience, more formal companies have specific job titles. If you have a "Junior Software Developer" title and a "Software Developer" title, the next option in the line may be something like "Senior Software Developer".
