Improvement Suggestion – Clone Field - Fields Identification in ACF

Raja G
I’ve encountered an issue when using the same field name across multiple flexible layouts. While trying to use a flexible layout field group as a clone field for a specific page, the search displays multiple fields with identical names, making it difficult to identify the correct one (screenshot: https://prnt.sc/OlqyfgIBgDMn).
I understand that adding prefixes or suffixes to field labels can help distinguish them, but I prefer to keep field labels clean and reusable across sections—for example, using “Title” instead of something like “Welcome Section Title.”
As a solution, I suggest displaying the field name in the format:
Field Label (field_name)
instead of showing the input type like Field Label (text). This would greatly improve usability when selecting fields from a list.
Appreciate your consideration!
Thanks!
