Title Templates: Input form labels
Category General
Description Problem Statement
Currently Family Historian has no practical way to divide user-created template into,
logical sections to improve readability/meaning. [A user can add "dummy" fields, but
this approach has the drawback of adding active fields that add to clutter and visual
confusion for the user.]

This means one needs to remember the purpose of each set of template fields, which are
currently displayed as a single bulleted list.

This can lead to entering data into an incorrect field and the template therefore not
providing the intended output, whether that is inconsistent or incorrect.

Proposal
It would be an improvement if the template design form permitted the use of a field-type
called "label".

The noted field type would have a field-label, but no meta-field tag or associated
data. When present in a template, the 'label' should be visually distinct from the
fields with which it is associated.

It should be noted that, due to the noted manner of providing this feature, the
implementation of "template labels" should have no effect on the design and operation
of current or future plug-ins.
