When coping with many forms with only marginal differences (i.e. in landingpages) it's handy to copy entire forms and change the differences only – or at least copy fields and container as long as copying entire forms is not possible at the moment (which would be a nice additional feature by the way). At the moment for any copied field or container there will be generated a new "Name" like "field_12345".

This is a problem when certain fields are used for personalization of emails within output workflows. At the moment it is necessary to change the "Name"-field within every copied field and/or container in order to keep the personalization running. By using one global email template with placeholder (i.e. for personalized salutation) in combination with many similar forms it would be huge facilitation if there would be an option to "keep the field-/container Names" in place. This would also decrease error sources when handling many forms.

In short: If you want to copy one field from one form to another one, the name should stay the same, right?

Inside the same form, we have to reset the name because it has to stay unique (even if the field gets copied from root into a container field!
