    Hi,
    I experienced something strange with naming of widgets sometimes if i name a widget "homephonenumber" and after save and publish that will be changed to "homephonenumber_0" or "homephonenumber_1" and also observed same after metadata refresh. Can you please help out here?

    Hello,

    Ensure that all other widgets don't share the same name of homephonenumber, if there is a widget that does, the new widget will be automatically renamed. This has nothing to do with the metadata and is strictly based on Sitefinity widget naming conventions. If all else fails just fall back to the auto named name of homephonenumber_x.

    Best Regards,
    Clinton
