Hi

Just trying to create an associated label.
Okay, select "label" an paint it on the canavas.  But then I stuck with associating the label to a field. 
I'm trying double click, right mouse button, widget properties: Nothing
So I did rename the label with the name of the field: Voila, the link is done.
After this, there is a (non editable)property "associated field".

So, how to select a field for a label without copy&paste the name of the field?

Just like in U9:

cursor in the field and drag outside (right,top,left,or bottom).
Afterwards, you can reposition the label wherever you like.

Select both the label and the field.

Now right-click.

There should be an option like Rename As : (the field's name)
