API Field Name Validation

My organization ran into an issue when creating new data fields. You cannot use capital letters in the API name, which we were not aware of. The tool also does not do any verification or show any error message if API fields are named incorrectly. This resulted in us having to go back into the tool, hide the fields with the incorrect set of API names, and then create a new set of fields with proper names.

It would be very helpful to have some type of verification that field names have the right naming syntax while they are being created to prevent mistakes like this.
