One thing that Bubble gets right is using internal non-modifiable ids for every single element in their platform for each app. This could be a data type(DB table), data item(row), UI element, etc
The purpose of this is to be able to abstract what you visualize from how it all connects behind.
I can change that name of a field in one place and I won’t have to change it elsewhere because bubble internally is establishing a link between them via internal non mutable IDs.
It would help a lot if Wappler kept record in meta files or something about the connections between the different elements from App and Server Connect.
As an example. If I change the SC connect file name it will update automatically or present me with a prompt to confirm the change for all AC elements that reference the SC.
Or if I change the name of an input element it will update the SC form.
The hard part would probably be keeping everything in sync as you can edit the code yourself.
It probably is not an easy thing to be done but it would be a hell of a QoL change.
