CFS Auto Loop Label is a <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-field-suite/" rel="ugc">Custom Field Suite</a> addon that takes the first textfield value of each loop and rename it’s row. It’s very useful when you don’t want to have just a list of “Row name” labels in the post edit screen. If no textfield is find, it takes the first textarea value.
You can contribute to the source code in the <a href="https://github.com/felipeelia/cfs-auto-loop-label" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub page</a>.
