I’m trying to add a logo to my collection schema but when creating the field I don’t have the field that is meant to show a custom text to the frontend. I only have the “Key” and “Default Value”. Any idea?

I have been on a long chat with AI which (whom) really enlightened me. Basically the _Field Name_ is not available anymore, as Directus generates a label (the one viewed by the user) starting from `Field Key` changing it from “snake\_case” to “Title Case” (e.g. `featured_image` becomes `Featured Image`).

To resolve the missing field I then must use translations: in the “Fields” tab, then in “Field Name Translations” create a new text for my language. I didn’t want to create translations but the AI explained that nothing will change at API level, and that the database key will stay untouched.

Better than official Directus documentation, I must say 😁 Unless someone has got somethign else to say…
