Field names different to Display Name

Hi! I've found if I have the same name for a menu item in different submenus, they conflict. Is it possible to specify a unique field name per item?

Also just wondering if you can read / set variables based on ID rather than the field name?

Thanks!

Another option would be on hitting conflicts the designer would switch to a variable name with the submenu name included.

For example for a submenu called sub and an item called tone: menuSubTone

I don’t think this would be too much work. Let me know if you think that would work.

That would be perfect thanks!
I think it would be good to be hard-coded that way, not just in the event of conflicts

V1.3.3 was released today. There's now an option on the generator to ensure all items are fully qualified.
