I have several fields with similar names, in different screens, that are used to show conditional fields. It's hard to verify that the correct field from the correct screen is selected. I have to start editing the condition and then check the available fields to determine which screen the field is coming from.
It would be nice if the screen is noted somewhere, even as a hover-over or something like that.

Hi Bob Schaefer
Thanks for posting to the Community! If you need to, I recommend giving your fields descriptive names to help with this in the meantime. You can use the Advanced Setting PDF & Web Label to change what the field is labelled for the PDF output if the descriptive label for the condition is to wordy. I will pass this request along to Product but I recommend sending this to beta@gocanvas.com because our Product team loves to hear from customers directly.
Having two fields with the same name will cause issues elsewhere if you start using more advanced options. There are a few ways to get around it. Like Lauren said and/or export label options. But the simplest way may be using a numbering system, like an outline. For example. Have a section 1, Section 2. Label the fields 2.1, 2.1 Comments, 2.2, 2.2 Comments, etc. That way no two fields have an identical label.
Great tip Keith McQuait, thanks for sharing!
