Add to FAQ: extrafield machine name should not already exist

I had correctly implemented my extrafield and cleared the caches but it was not listed in Views fields.
I realized that I had a Rules Link with the same machine name so I prefixed my extrafield's machine name with the word extrafield_ and it worked.
Maybe this is worth adding to the FAQ ;)

D7 reached its EOL back in January 2025, and there is no active release for D7 for this module anymore.
Development or support is not planned for D7.

All D7-related issues are marked as outdated in a bunch.
If the issue's topic is actual in D10+ versions, please create a follow-up issue or comment on this one (to re-open and switch to the 2.2.x development branch).
Thanks!
