Steps to reproduce the issue

Image

Should this be - Use in Subform - or it should say - Select ... -
Cause be default it says Use in Subform which sounds the same with Only in Subform and the field on the list is not in subform even.

Is this logical to be like that or should be fixed?

Something is wrong with your installation as you have somehow combined two different fields

There should be a show status AND a use in subform field

@brianteeman No its just a smaller screen its actually on the second row and its mac so it opens the native select dropdown. Actually is right behind of it. Should it say - Use in Subform - or something like - Select ... - ?

Use in subform is a heading just like Select Language is a heading - it has no meaning and no value

I think this could perhaps be made a little clearer from a UX perspective.

My understanding is that there are really three states here:

  • Select Form Type — placeholder
  • Any Form — the field can be used normally in any form
  • Only in Subform — the field is restricted to Subforms

The current wording “Use in Subform” could potentially be interpreted as simply allowing the field to be used in a Subform, while “Only Use in Subform” communicates a restriction to Subforms.

With that in mind, perhaps the select could describe the form scope/availability instead, for example:

Form Type

Select Form Type
Any Form
Only in Subform

I think this would make the distinction a little more explicit and aligned how the other filters work already, while still leaving the final wording/design choice open to the maintainers.

I would probably change the placeholder to

    • Select Field Usage -

I have tested this item successfully on c3d78cf.
The updated filter wording is displayed correctly and the filter behaves as expected.
