I wasn't referring to labels here although somebody might find that 
useful too.


I was referring to the issue that fields don't know neither their 
containing form classes nor their form instances. In some circumstances, 
one need to do that in order to correctly work with the field (think of 
the prefix of the form which needs to be reflected in the field but 
there are more missing pieces of information).


As mentioned to Steven, in this case the name does not suffices at all. 
So, I am not sure how to handle this right now. This might belong to a 
greater issue of *referring back* which currently needs to be handled 
manually in all cases.


Best,
Sven
