Just to clarify, is this native WordPress widget form label, or a control label for a Tailor element?

[brendanlawton]

@andrew-worsfold it's a label for an input field in a twig file that is rendered as part of a custom WP_Widget. Here's an example:

<label for="{{ post.fieldId }}">{{ loop.index }}:</label>

// above example outputs the loop.index but no colon

This was by design, in order to bring widget forms into line with default Tailor/Customizer controls. Could you provide an example that shows why it's important to leave the colon in place?
