At http://en.flossmanuals.net/CiviCRM/CiviCaseConfiguring in section 4 where it talks about matching <name> to Label, I don't think that's right. The <name> tags in the xml should match to the name field in the database, and similarly lower down it's name_b_a for relationships.

I know there were some mismatches in some earlier versions but pretty sure it's always name now, and logically it should be name not label.

Actually as I read it again now it's correct in its description of what you see in the UI, since there is no "name" field in the UI. You'd only run into problems if you then later changed the UI label and updated the xml to match. But you shouldn't change the xml unless you are also updating the name in the database, but that's the whole point of name vs. label - you don't have to change anything other than label if you just want to change the label.

Maybe out of scope for the book?
