The new webforms look improved regarding usability. However our customer reported to us, that there's some "strange key" needed in option components. And they finally didn't understood why and what's that all about. Regular end users also have some Problems entering the pipe symbol...

Version 2.x didn't have mandatory option keys. Is it impossible to change this back to optional keys?

To end users this might bee a little too admin like.

Just use the Options Element module!

Yep, roball is correct, use Options Element if you'd like to make things easier. The key requirement is necessary to ensure data integrity, since if your users don't understand keys they certainly won't know that renaming an option will make them loose or corrupt their data (which has always been a problem until the latest release). Options Element auto-creates the keys for you and hides the complexity.
