When Copying Fields, make it go up in number not "copy/copy/copy/copy"

When Copying fields in the Form Designer (e.g."New Field"), the new copied field says "New Field copy", this causes a lot of issues when referencing that copied field later as if you copy the field 10 times it ends up with "New Field copy copy copy copy copy copy copy copy copy copy" instead it would be more efficient to rename the "copy" to a 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10. that way you know what field you are referencing in the form and dont have to count the amount of copy's. e.g. "New Field 1", "New Field 2", "New Field 3" - this method is being used in another form designer and works perfectly for tracking fields and referencing them when needed. It also helps a lot when you want to re-name a field but forgot which one it was.

    Highly requested features..... this has more than 8 votes, where Nintex, pushes one that have 1 or 2 voted items.

    this request is a very basic, and should have been setup by default. at least with a simple number on the end, is easier to identify than a field with 10+ copy's after it.

    Your response Akshay seem to fob off a very simple change to help users.

    Thank you very much for posting your feedback for our review. At this time, we will not be adding this request to the near-term backlog, as we are focused on other highly requested features. However, we reevaluate requests every quarter and will reach out if priorities change. Please keep the feedback coming—it is critical for our longer-term planning.
