Comment #3
twistor commentedWe definitely need to do something about this, but I don't think this is the right approach. $mname is not really the machine name of the field, it's whatever the target set in that value.
Comment #4
szt commentedFor me it shows always the machine name...
Using for all my projects without any wrong results.
Ok, please tell me, where can I find the machine name variable, and I'll reroll.

osopolarI created a new patch for this, which shows the machine name in the feeds mapping form, in the select fields and in the legend. Using machine names is more explicit than field names and very helpful if there are lots of fields - even more when using some naming conventions while creating fields like field_{contentype}_{name}.

sebaz commentedGreat solution and it should be added to the next release.
I wanted to post the same patch like #5 but it exists, so I'm voting for it.
Comment #7
szt commentedThe last patch (#5) is an excellent solution!
(this is very important feature, because in Hungarian the word "Title" and "Address" also means "Cím" :)
