Field names & labels

In the API builder, "field name" and "field label" are two distinct elements used to identify and describe data fields, and they serve different purposes:

---

Field names

Field name refers to the identifier used to access a specific piece of data within a generated API endpoint. In IncludeCore, field names are subject to specific naming conventions and restrictions. They cannot include special characters or spaces. ➡️ Example valid field name: product_description1

---

Field labels

Field label refers to the human-readable or user-friendly name or description assigned to a data field. They are displayed in the editor panel and should convey the meaning of the data to humans.

---

Boolean label

Boolean label refers to the human-readable or user-friendly name or description displayed next to a boolean field. They are displayed in the editor panel and should convey the meaning of checking or unchecking the boolean checkbox to humans.
