Single value Field Collections do not display field label

same issue here

ok.. did some testing. When first setting up a field collection with a number of values set to 1, the labels were printing in the html, but placed behind the actual fields themselves. After setting field collection to tables (http://drupal.org/project/field_collection_table), viewing the node/add form again, then disabling tables the labels showed up. After this.. problem of missing labels went away completely.

We have the same issue.

Singe cardinality field collections on the node/edit form are not in a table, and the label is missing so it is unclear that they are in a collection.

This issue does not occur with multi valued or unlimited cardinality collections.

Have tried the field_collection_table suggestion above and no fix.

Have also tried 7.x-1.0-beta2 and dev - no fix presently.

It appear that the field miss its '#type' parameter when the cardinality is set to 1. So the attached patch propose to add one in this case.

This patch isn't working anymore in the latest dev ( 2014-Apr-16).

The labels are missing on my edit page.

EDIT: the label has the class "element-invisible": <label class="element-invisible" (...)>
That's why it's not shown.

I have no idea why this is, and how I can disable this behaviour.

This only occurs when the widget type of the Field collection-field (in the content type) is set to table. When it's set to embedded the labels appear just fine.

Is there a specific reason for this?

The field collection module does not supply a table widget. Try filing an issue in the module that supplies the table widget.

If this issue can be reproduced with only the field collections module then feel free to reopen with steps to reproduce the problem.
