Changes to Reference Name Field in 2506.5

How reference names have changed in 2506.5

As of release 2506.5, the behavior of an input's Reference Name field has changed.

Previously, the reference name would automatically mirror an input's Label field until the field edit was complete. For example, when adding a Text input to a form and entering "Name" as the label, the reference name would also become "Name." If the label was then changed to "Employee Name," the reference name would update to match.

In release 2506.4, real-time saving has been introduced, meaning changes are automatically saved. Using the same example, when "Name" is entered as the label, the reference name still matches. However, if the label is then changed to "Employee Name," the reference name remains "Name." After the label is edited for the first time, the reference name becomes independent and no longer updates based on label changes—even if the field is still being edited. However, you can still manually update the reference name if needed.
