    Description

      In ACP > Permissions > Moderator Roles, display of the array value keys in the permissions fields is very confusing.

      For example:

      Role name: ROLE_MOD_FULL
      Role Description: ROLE_DESCRIPTION_MOD_FULL

      is shown. The meaning is:

      • A key value in this field will read the value from the language file
      • Otherwise, the field description will be stored directly in the database

      This is incorrect behaviour from a user perspective; discussed in this topic, https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=466&t=2273686:

      • An empty field is asking you to fill it
      • A filled field is asking you to change it
      • A field with code on it looks like an error

      The presence of the key values is interpreted as an error. Please remove the key values to display a blank field.
