Hi.
It seems when customizing a page with new fields/objects, these new f/o's are identified in properties and in dropdowns by only their captions. This makes it very difficult to tell the difference between:
1) an object and field both named "myName"
2) multiple objects named "myName"
example: Company's Bill To "city" , Ship To "city" , and "city" of residence of contacts at this company. These will not all necessarily have the same value nor necessarily all be saveable fields. However all are recognized as "city".
Perhaps a nameing convention that the user cannot alter would make these objects more unique and identifiable.
Obviously fields can never have the same name internally, so if the edit properties of a field showed its internal name as well as the alterable caption, screen items would be much easier to tell a part.

#example for field on screen from Table "Customer" named "MyName" :
Step 1 of 3: Object Properties
Caption = "MyName" (alterable)
Caption Location = [ ] (dropdown)
Default Value = [ ] (alterable)
**Identifier = "Customer_MyName" (static)
For example, if i were to create a new textbox for "SectionA" and name
it "Notes", a reliable (unalterable) format may show in the properties
of this object as follows: SectionA.Obj.Notes1
#example for textbox on screen from Section "A" named "MyName" :
Step 1 of 3: Object Properties
Caption = "MyName" (alterable)
Caption Location = [ ] (dropdown)
Default Value = [ ] (alterable)
**Identifier = "ScreenName_TxBx_1" (static)
If there is already a unique naming convention visible by the end-user please let me know.
Thx,
