Hello there !

Thank you guys for this tool !
I am upgrading from strapi 4.0.1 to 4.6.0
Could you explain why the icons in the dynamic zone have disapeared ? I think it was based on font-awesome, and it was convenient to look for the correct component. Is it replaced by another idea ? (I see that the new component does not need to define an icon… What about the info.icon from the old component ?)
I use it a lot, but it is going to reduce the user experience :

How do you manage to quickly distinguish each component ?

Thank you !

I am having the same issue. It was really helpful to be able to add custom icons for each component.
All of the icons that I selected are still showing up in the data, but it is no longer being displayed in the CMS.

    "info": {
        "displayName": "2-Column",
        "icon": "columns",
        "description": ""
    },

New components do not have the option to select an icon, and components that have an icon selected no longer have the ability to edit the icon either.

The unique icons helped content creators find frequently used components more easily. Please add this option back, not sure why it would get turned off!
