You should be able to display the Label (name) with the ShortCode attribute "show_name=''"

Example:

[types field='checkboxes' separator=', ' show_name='true'][/types]
[types field='file' link='true' show_name='true'][/types]
[types field='phone' show_name='true'][/types

I will request an immediate update of the GUI, so that option is actually also available when inserting the ShortCode
The Attribute is also elaborated here:

Hi
Thanks for the info and link, that link info is very useful. I have a related further question to fields

I have got the label to show but would need to style the label different to the value - see screenshot
hidden link

Also If a field is not required or entered, using {show_name='true'] attribute will the field still display?
i.e. I would like to only show name if the field has a value is there a parameter that equals 'if present' or something

Thanks

<h3>[types field='course-bcu-award' show_name='true'][/types]</h3>

thanks

sorry for the multiple posts but these issues have arose from showing the labels, please see above posts also.
On repeating field values the label duplicates also, i need it to show once with values seperated
see screeenshot: hidden link

thanks

1. I have got the label to show but would need to style the label different to the value - see screenshot
hidden link

This is not possible.
If you need different Style, then you cannot output the Label with the ShortCode but should add it manually like this:

<class>Label:</class> [shortcode]

2. For this the generic best approach is to use HTML conditional:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/

3. On repeating field values the label duplicates also, i need it to show once with values seperated
see screenshot: hidden link

This is expected, I'll ask the developers if we can add a setting for this.
