Sorry for not being more clear. The onboarding process is a simplified version of the actual scraper builder. The fields are not editable, it's just to get used to the scraping flow. I've noted down your suggestion and I'll make this more clear or add field edition. Thanks! |

I also had a real problem naming the "Store as" field for my data extractor. It didn't seem to like things in the format "foo_bar_baz56" (i.e. ending with digits). This page https://mrscraper.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/1... says "The variable name can not contain special signs" but doesn't explain what special signs are. Anything other than [A-Z_]?
Now that I've finally set up and tested my first scraper, I'm really impressed. It was much easier to set up than I would have guessed, and specifying a selector made it dead simple. Results worked out of the box, on a site that is super touch about being scraped.
However, now that I'm viewing my scraper, I see no way of editing the scraper or data extractor. What's the trick to editing a scraper once you've saved it and gone back to view it?
