Seconding this, I'd love to see a "source field handle" for these, prominently displayed. |

You could also click the “Edit field” menu option, which opens the field’s global settings in a slideout. |

The field layout editor makes it very difficult to see which field a particular field instance belongs to.
For example, I have multiple
Layout
fields with different options that are all used with the labelLayout
and handlelayout
in different entry types that are used for a content builder matrix field. Because the handle is overwritten, it's impossible to tell which field this field instance actually is:Opening the field in a modal window doesn't help, I still don't see the original field handle:
The only way to see the original field handle is to remove the overwritten field handle so I can see the original field handle, which is used as a placeholder.
This is awkward and not very accessible.
Proposed solution
Show the original field handle both in the field layout editor and in the modal window when editing a field.
Very quick mockup (
layout
is the instance handle andlayout_6_9
the original handle):Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
