Version info:
MediaWiki 1.24.2
PHP 5.4.37 (cgi-fcgi)
MySQL 5.5.41-cll-lve
When I create and save a new form through Semantic Forms, all goes well.
If I "Edit with Form" that page, and don't populate some fields, the field captions duplicate as well as the field names.
Latest version of Semantic Forms. I'm also using a slightly modified version of the Bootstrap skin modified for Media Wiki. In order to gain better control over the styling, I'm not using the traditional captions for fields, but leaving those empty and using headings instead.

Hi Jay,
Looking at that page, and the corresponding form, it seems like the issue here is not with field captions - or field names - but with section headers. There is some buggy behavior in Semantic Forms when there's a multiple-instance template specified to go between two sections, and a page has no instances of that template; I think that's what you're seeing here. Assuming that's the case, until that bug is fixed I would say your best option is to change the form definition in one way or another so that you don't have that pattern showing up.

Many thanks for your clarification. It seemed an issue beyond my expertise with SMW. Your analysis helps me understand the probable cause and potential resolutions.

A quick note that I'm sure you'll be able to make use of.
Most of the affected entry fields do, in fact, accept multiple entries. However, the one on Related Links in the Wiki is not setup that way. The data it accepts is pages, and, of course, multiple pages can be entered in that field.
All the best, and thanks for your book. I couldn't have gotten this far without it...

Just quickly, my solution to the problem.
The Sections are critical to the format of the page -- to give me more control over styling without having to create a new skin.
I found that entering a space in a field in SF renders that "populated" and avoids the buggy behavior that you've noted. It will make the process of creating blank pages a bit more tedious, but that seems the most workable approach at this time.
Again, thanks,
Jay
