Say I have a Wysiwyg field with name “Test” in a collection.
I made a new item in the collection and wrote stuff in the “Test” field.
Now, I would like to change the name in the collection from “Test” to “Hello”.
This deletes any written content in that field in every item in the colletion.
Same with asset fields, it deletes all assets in the item upon changing the asset field name in the model.
Is this expected behavior or am I doing something wrong/missing something obvious?

It will not delete the Test name in json object and it will add New Hello in json, but when you edit it only see the new Hello field

Ah, I see that now. Not the behavior I expected, but at least I can work with that. Thank you!
