    What a rock-solid plugin, backed by fast, extremely knowledgable support!

    A few enhancment requests that would make it easier to use:

    1. allow changing field types (within reason). e.g. Radios to checkboxes, or text input to email address
    2. allow user to specifiy more meaningful fieldnames (rather than ‘fieldname<x>’)
    3. provide ‘where-used’ info for a field, to allow user to more easily determine change impact

    I realize these may be pretty deep changes, but thought I would put them out there!

    thanks for considering

    Hello @irvingbos

    Thank you so much for using our plugin and the suggestions.

    Some of your suggestions have been partially implemented, and others are in progress. For instance, when you delete a field from a form, the plugin displays a red frame around any calculated fields that use the deleted field in their equations. This makes it easier to identify the equations to edit.

    We are working on allowing the use of short labels directly in certain contexts, such as notification emails and thank-you pages. We are also working on the option to swap fields in the form.

    The issue with short labels is that the plugin loses control over field identification. For example, since users cannot modify the field IDs, it is easy to identify the field to display when they enter tags, like <%fieldname1%> in the notification email. However, since the short label is entered by the user, it is hard to solve the ambiguity when the user enters short label tags, e.g. <%product-name%>, but it was assigned to multiple fields.

    Best regards.

    Hi, thanks for the response; I was not aware of the red-frame highlighting of pending deleted fields. Thanks!

    Hello @irvingbos

    We have released a new plugin update that includes some of your requests. It displays a confirmation dialog during the field deletion process to prevent deleting fields by mistake. This is useful when the field is used by other fields, such as in calculated field equations or data source fields for filtering. It is also useful when deleting a container field (fieldset, div, or popup) that contains other fields.

    Best regards.
