deriveLabelForUISchemaElement() return undefined if no translation was found and no label defined about jsonforms HOT 3 OPEN

Hi @davewwww , thanks for reporting this issue. I agree that it is unexpected and possibly hard to properly detect in the UI when just undefined is returned.
I think we should either return the i18n key as is or return the key with a prefix. E.g. for an unknown key foo something like: MISSING_I18N:foo.
@sdirix what do you think?

I'm not sure. If you have a category without i18n and without a label it will also not render any label. To use the i18n value as a fallback, all the user needs to do is to add it as a label too, e.g.

"type": "Category",
"i18n": "address",
"label": "address",
"elements": []

from jsonforms.

But in deriveLabelForUISchemaElement() you have this check:

  if (
    (uischema.label === undefined ||
      uischema.label === null ||
      uischema.label === true) &&
    !isInternationalized(uischema)
  ) {
    return undefined;
  }

it says that if you have no label and no i18n, then return undefined. this means that if no label exists but an i18n does, then this check does not apply. so either this check is wrong or the following code ignores the fact that you don't need a label if i18n is set.

so what is the intended behavior of you?
