improve CF8

kraadde 06 Jun, 2025

I suggest an improvement of the CF8. 

If using containers or multifield areas, the indication (like area_multi_field121 or area_container122) disappeare after saving the page.

Troubleshooting becomes quite painful when checking event trigger and event listener. Unlikely the PHP action fields that have indeed an identifier like php123.

Otherwise a great forms app.

I will try to explain better:

I have setup following event triggers in one of my fields:

and the containers look like that :

as you see, there is no way to identify which container is which. 

unlike the following:

that have lables ( php123 and enedt scwitcher125) that makes easy to troubleshooting.
