Form felds: Ability to view the field ID information directly on the field or without hiding in the field properties

    Hi,

    1. Why are the field details hidden unless we hit the icon to view them?
    2. What is the purpose of this?
    3. Why not just show it right off? (Feature request)

    *** I have to say it is a bit of a pain ***

    What would be very helpful if the field details could be seen when the field is selected and highlighted and the mouse pointer is over the element it in build mode. (Feature request)

    Silly old man playing with colors

    Best regards, Robert

    May I know which field are you referring to? Also, give us the form URL so we can take a look. You can even post a screenshot to the forum - How-to-Post-Screenshots-to-Our-Support-Forum 

    We'll wait for your reply.

    Hi,

    Well these issues are not particular to any of my forms but all of them. I will pick one and attach some images as you request. But I would still like some answers.

    Why are the field details hidden unless we hit the icon to view them?.

    Just have a look at the images for more details.

    We appreciate your suggestions in improving the product. They must be hidden due to the level of usage with the field IDs. Generally, most of our users are novice users and wants to use the form with the built-in features. The field IDs are used when we actually want to inject some CSS codes to the form which is considered as an advanced task for most of them. I believe that they are not displayed directly in the field properties.

    However, let me forward the thread to our backend team for evaluation. If there is any news in this regard, you'll be updated here.

    Thanks!
