[#13707] - [com_fields] [feature request] Ability to hide field label on front end

- Build: 3.7 Alpha 1
- # 13707
Steps to reproduce the issue
Because the field label is required, the best you can do to not show the label is put a space in the label field.
Expected result
A check box that lets you remove the label from the front end render (leaving it showing in the fields tab in the article editor).
Actual result
If you put a space in the label field, the label still renders the space and the : mark after it, making the output look really odd.
System information (as much as possible)
I'm using the JUX dev install, PHP 7.1.0, MySQL 5.6.28-76.1-log
Additional comments
The goal here is to make custom fields as flexible as possible before resorting to overrides and custom css. To give users more out of the box functionality.

Okay, I figured this out tonight and added it to my build. Tomorrow I'll sort out a pull request. There's a change to the DB so I have to figure out how that works.

Before you do a PR. Did you try creating a user.css with the following rule
.hidelabel .field-label {
display:none;
}
and then add hidelabel as the renderclass into the field?
@brianpeat if you put the hide label option into params, then you don't need to change the table layout.
@Bakual I don't want the user to have to put in a class to hide the label. That's like the worst user experience ever. :)

Imho, Joomla suffers from to many parameters where the same thing could be achieved with a CSS class and some simple CSS rules.
I love css, but I'd much rather have one more switch in there than have to remember to use a class. It also means users with no css experience will have to google how to hide the label. To me that's a bad experience.
One option would be what we did for the "Caption Class" in the editor image plugin. There we suggest some classes which are supported by most templates using a datalist. Of course then the CSS rules would have to be in our templates to work.
Closing as we have a PR
