 it tired with
 PetscObjectSetName(u,'myfield', ierr)
Now the data in vtu file is calle

myfieldPoint0    So the pattern is ..<fieldName><Point| Cell><field Id> ?
where the field Name is the one set using PetscObjectSetName ?

But why is it not using the name set using PetscSectionSetFieldName ?

If i have a few fields per point then i can manage with the field Ids  but
usually the aux data i look at has about 10 to 12 fields. It would make
things easier if i can refer to them using Names in the paraview.   As the
viewer is accessing the DM object, why not get the user set field names in
the default section ?
