Is the fact that the column header in the Form Submission Data table says "field" instead of the element name "Message" a bug with Webflow or am I missing something?

The column header in the Form Submission Data table displaying "field" instead of the element name "Message" is not a bug with Webflow. This behavior is intentional and it serves a specific purpose.

When you create a form in Webflow, each input field (such as text input, textarea, checkbox, etc.) is associated with a "field" in the form submission data. This "field" is used internally to store and organize the form data submitted by users.

The reason why the column header says "field" instead of the actual element name is because Webflow allows you to customize the form and element names as per your requirements. For example, you might have named your textarea element as "Message", but another user might name it differently, such as "Customer Inquiry" or "Feedback".

By using the generic term "field" as the column header, Webflow ensures that it works consistently regardless of how you name your elements. This flexibility allows you to easily modify and customize form designs while maintaining a coherent structure for handling form submission data.

So, in short, this is not a bug, but a deliberate design choice by Webflow to ensure flexibility and consistency in handling form submission data.
