Remove auto created text in name from customize fields

In recent update, I found in custom fields, there is auto created text custom added with names.

How can I stop this auto added custom from name?

Hi @Lone_Wolf:

I think there is not way to stop it, was an intentional change.

But, you can rename your fields. Go to “Custom field” doctype (yoursite.com/app/custom-field ). Find your field and use “Rename field” button.

Hope this helps.

For Field Types such as Button it throws error because it also is trying to change in MariaDB which does not exists.

Hi:

Thanks for reporting.

Fixed here.

This is really great but the reason behind this is to avoid the future fields conflict. its really helpful for avoid unwanted fields conflict issues i think

Amazing. Thank you! When is this going to be merged to version-15 branch?

Already merged.

Another small update on this. When I Rename Fieldname on Custom Field doctype, it renames the fieldname but not the current doctype name. It stays Item-custom_literature_and_catalogs

Pic example

So creates a conflict. Example.

  • Created Section break and named it literature_and_catalogs. The code renamed it Item-custom_literature_and_catalogs
  • I went to Custom Field and clicked Rename Fieldname. Renamed it sb_literature_and_catalogs
  • Created a new table under that Section name an named it literature_and_catalogs. The code gives an error because Item-custom_literature_and_catalogs already exists in Custom Field, despite the fact that I renamed it.
