Description

Clone fields groups are adding prefixes "field_xxxxxxxxxxxx_" to the original field in seamless or and no seamless. Is this expected behaviour? Seems sort of redundant to have it the same on both types as well as having both the array and each individual field labelled as such. There's no way to access the particular field except through the clone field which totally defeats its intended purpose.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with clone field groups in both seamless and non-seamless modes, then inspect the generated field names and access behavior. Compare the array label and individual field labels to determine whether the prefixes are intentional; done means the expected naming and access behavior is documented or the reported inconsistency is fixed.
