How do I change the name of a field, e.g. "input_1" to "FIRST_NAME"
and what is the purpose of Admin Label
sorry, but I can't find documentation on either
thanks.
<li id='field_1_1' class='gfield FIRST_NAME gfield_contains_required' >
<label class='gfield_label' for='input_1_1'>First Name<span class='gfield_required'>*</span></label><div class='ginput_container'>
<input name='input_1' id='input_1_1' type='text' value='' class='medium' tabindex='1' />
</div>Hi
This will help me as well as I have a requirement in order to have custom field names for hidden items in order to interface through to moneybooker.

You aren't able to change these. They are automatically generated to make sure that our forms work correctly.
Gravity Forms requires unique names to work, and allowing developers to potentially name two fields the same would break too many things. This was the best system we could think of.
I have the same issue. The salesforce web-to-lead plugin states:
"You can find your Custom Fields under [Your Name] → Setup → Leads → Fields, then at the bottom of the page, there’s a list of "Lead Custom Fields & Relationships". This is where you will find the "API Name" to use in the Admin Label or Parameter Name."
Is this entirely wrong? I am unable to have a custom response sent to salesforce due to this issue. Is there a workaround for this issue?
@Nathanael, we were not talking about Salesforce. But, as stated previously, you cannot change the name of the form fields in Gravity Forms. You can use the gform_after_submission hook to send whatever data you want to Salesforce, or you can use this 3rd party add-on for Salesforce/Gravity Forms integration:

Let us know if you need additional assistance.
Have a look at the following which might help you send details to Salesforce - http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission
