 * We use the admin fields a lot.
    We use it to display additional information on
   our products, and for product filtering.
 * With the old version, the option that said: Value or Field (Show value instead
   of field.)
    If you chose value only, it would also show the Title of the field,
   now it doesn’t show the title.
 * The metadata (custome field) also used to be “wccaf_[field name/title]”, now 
   when you create a new one, it’s just a number. It would be nice to be able to
   create your own metadata name so the new fields can match the data already entered
   on our products.
 * Please address these issues.

 * This is a problem I’m also encountering. I have asked the dev in my thread if
   there is a way to customize field names.

 * Regading the field name is not visible, I will display the field key just like
   before, since it may be needed for adding custom logic on your own.
 * Regarding the field name is not user friendly, that decision was made to avoid
   fields naming collision across multiple groups.
 * In the future release, I will give an option to use legacy key generation (which
   is based on field label) or the automated key generation.

   key names become available.

 * Has the User friendly field key (name) been updated?
    I see the field key is 
   displayed now when editing the fields, but I don’t see a way to change it.

 * Is the user friendly field key issue resolved at this point? Not sure I understand
   the version notes…
 * *Select field clone (for outter form location) issue fixed
    *added wccpf_custom_field_wrapper
   filter for adding custom field wrapper
 * It would be nice to have a UI friendly solution where user could enter custom
   field key/name then save changes.

 * I rolled back to 3.0.4. After upgrading to 4.0.6, there was still no visible 
   way to alter or customize the field names and the values seem more complicated
   to access as I could not display the Fields Factory values on the product admin
   page (we use Fields Factory for Wholesale price, Product Cost, Cost Code, and
   Product source). With 3.0.4 everything is easy to implement.

   you can enter a new key once done press Enter key.
 * Finally click on the `Update` button.
