Provide option to allow dynamic creation of fields but not if it is one with different casing in the name #8602

Closed ppf2 closed 9 years ago

We currently have a dynamic strict setting that prevents the automatic creation of fields within a type.

Would be nice to provide an additional option which allows for the dynamic creation of fields within a type, but disallow dynamic creation of the same field but with a different casing (eg. "body" vs. "Body")

body_text vs bodyText vs BodyText too?

Yah not quite sure about the body_text scenario, but for bodytext,Bodytext,bodyText,BodyText, certainly for this use case. Thx.

Meh I don't like this at all. It introduces so many problems elsewhere. Field names are case sensitive, and that's that. Problems like this should be handled on the application side.

Sorry, but I'm closing this.
