   Is there a way to make the Custom Field Key Human readable, say more like the "label". Some CSV import plugins just look at the key... and I have no idea what I am looking at.

   array (
   				'key' => 'field_50b160d8af21e',

   Hi @Hugh

   New to ACF 3.5.4 is more 'human' field keys. Such as "field_1".
   However, ACF will only make these nice field keys for new fields, not previously created ones.

   Thanks

   Thank you for pushing this out. It helps some. Is there a reason why the field can not be the same as the label?

   Its because you can use the same field_name in different field groups. If the field did not have a unique ID, ACF would probably load the wrong field and apply the wrong formatting values to a value.
