Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When you insert a module or field into an article it is displayed in the editor just as text with an id number

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Additionaly display in the editor the Title of the field or module

2. Additionaly format this text only placeholder to something more visual

Additional context

Indeed it would make perfect sense to make those shortcodes more visible in the Editor.

But I am thinking: especially for Custom Fields, if the Editor shows a huge block like that we have to make sure that it displays nicely... for example if {field 11} is put

• in the middle of a sentence
• in a table
• etc

So in practice, I would probably not go for

• width: 100%
• and such a big padding

But conceptually, making more visible is a nice improvement.

One thought also about inserting the Title of the Module / Custom Field in the shortcode. What if the Module / Custom Fields has its Title changed / edited after the insertion in that Editor ?

• would it be dynamically changed in that Editor?
• or would it stay with its old Title?

for now I am only go to deal with modules and leacve fields to a later date

If the title is changed after insertion it will not update in the editor as its not a dynamic relationship. Note that if you delete a module you have the same problem already
