Description

(tested on QGIS 3.4.8 on Windows 10)

Actions in field scope have three variables: field_index, field_name, field_value.
Field_name doesn’t work when actions run from attribute table.

For example the following python action (in field scope):

from qgis.PyQt import QtWidgets
expr = '"[% @field_name ]"' + ' = ' + "'[ @field_value ]'"
QtWidgets.QMessageBox.information(None, "[
@field_name %]", expr)

works good from Identify Result panel, but when the action run from the attribute table it doesn’t show the name of the field.

A workaround is using the field index:
layer = QgsProject.instance().mapLayer('[% @layer_id ]')
field_name = layer.fields().field([
@field_index %]).name()
