 * I’ve the following issue, I’ve added a few fields, and below each field I want
   to add a repeatable textarea with the title ‘Remarks’, but if I do that I get
   the following message:
 * ‘Field with name “%s” already exists’
 * I’m not sure why the name matters. I can understand that the slug needs to be
   different, but why the name?
