Problem with data saved in some array key

[andronic90]

Problem is in options like this:

'text-1' => array(
	'label'   => __('Text', 'unyson'),
	'desc'    => __('Write some text', 'unyson'),
	'type'    => 'textarea',
),

in frontend all works fine, the key that come is "text_1", but in dashboard the textarea is empty: https://static.md/0cead103e48ece8791c42619a212da87.png

If you need more details please contact me and I give you additional information.

Please do not use dashes in options, AFAIK they are buggy and very unstable. Avoid them, if possible.

Do the options with dashes (-) in them work in regular page builder modals?

Hi @andreiglingeanu, I know the problem with dashes, but we used this in 2-3 existing shortcodes and now this is a problem. (I reported some time ago and know that moldcraft fixed this on frontend, I don't remember if works and in backend)

In the regular page builder this works fine.

Can you recall where the original issue was? I mean if you can provide the context for the discussion it would be nice.

as far as I know backend ( WP ) converts the dash to underscore so it is kinda impossible to find its ref after the save,

it has been said always to avoid dashes and booleans ( for choices ) in options
