    Hi!
    I just installed your plugin and tried it out.
    In the Controller Settings I turned some fields on, they all have the pattern wpcf-name.
    When I view the data, it says wpcf_name – which retrieves null.
    Why is your plugin changing – to _ ? Can I change that?
    Thank you.

    Hi @teresasumisu,

    Unfortunately this is how the plugin was built: you should always use underscores for custom field names.

    I would like to fix that one day but it isn’t a high priority at the moment.

    I hope that isn’t too big of an inconvenience.

    All the best,
    Kevin.

    Hi Kevin,

    thanks. For me it makes the plugin useless, since I have no control about how toolset saves the custom fields. But I am just registering the fields by myself for the rest api with register_rest_field() – that works fine.

    You should be able to rename your fields with our plugin as long as you use underscores instead of the default dash names. Did you try that?

    No I did not, but I also need more from our api, so it is no problem to just code it myself. Thank you.
