In Safari, the autofill dropdown explicitly said it would fill "email, work, address" (and I guess it implies that name is included).

How obvious is this to the user? This seems like a detail that'd be easily overlooked.

It's quite obvious. Just tried it myself [1].

You first select an identity to use to auto-fill. When doing that, it will tell you the data it will insert in the subtitle.

You can also click customize and choose what data to place into each field.

It's obvious in Safari but not so in Chrome
