I was browsing a Project file using the State Browser. (Menu Project-->DEBUG:View project objects) and I have a question about entityfieldDefinition objects

I have determined that MappedFieldFieldName holds the field name in the database and that Fieldname holds the value that is generated into code and is used as the Field alias.

But what is the FriendlyName for?

For alias generation I believe. It might sound strange but I also wondered about it (the codebase is 3.5MB in size, there is some dead code left over in there and I don't know every detail about every field anymore (code docs don't contain every detail about every field). I weeded out dead code in the last month but I might overlooked this value.

I suggest you ignore FriendlyName. simple_smile

/me adds 'FriendlyName' to list of code to remove.
