Hi Folks
FIELD X: Does it matter if the field name and the storage do not match?
Is this good Example:
- Field Name: 'field_to_repeat'
- Field Type: Text
- Storage: Custom | Article | field_x[field]
- Field Name: 'field_x_repeats_fields'
- Field Type: Field X
- Storage: Custom | Article | field_x
Or is this best:
- Field Name: 'field_to_repeat'
- Field Type: Text
- Storage: Custom | Article | field_x_repeats_fields[field_to_repeat]
- Field Name: 'field_x_repeats_fields'
- Field Type: Field X
- Storage: Custom | Article | field_x_repeats_fields
Is there any difference i.e. in searches, or certain things that certain plugins etc might be expecting?
Thanks
Jon

Hi,
I would say try it if there is any difference :) Test it with normal search type and one with search generic field, those are the most problematic things.

Hi Klas
Well, I do have field names different to storage and it all seems to be working fine.
Just paranoia takes over sometimes :)

Hi again...
... Well, seeing as the data that gets stored is field_name::field_x_name rather than field_storage_name::fieldx_storage_name
so there is absolutely no benefit in having storage different to the name....
