Would it be possible to save field names with the first save of the template? "copy_of_" Problem

I love the possibility to duplicate fields when building apps. Thats such a time saver.

But as a Dev it hurts my feelings, when the external ID name is already given to the field before. a lot of “copy_of…” which has no meaning for the external field ID. I understand, that field names should be fix when created. But could they be given, when I save the new record layout the first time after I added the field?

Currently the name is given when duplicating, without any chance to give it a meaningful name before.

I also second this! We have lots of copies of copies too.

I’m going to toss this onto the new records post as well.
