Ask FileMaker how to have "dashed lines in a Text Field, to write notes"

Field Names inside the Field
When I go into Find Mode, the Fields are totally blank.  It would be nice to have the Field name shown inside the Field so that I know what Field it is (in case there are no Field Labels present).
The  workaround to type "Self" in the Tooltip Field in the Position Tab of the Inspector only picks up the Field Name and displays it when you hover over the Field in Browse Mode - not in Find Mode!

Empty Fields
There should be an Inspector Tab that shows which Field is used in which Layout, which will facilitate the decision making process whether to delete this Field or not, otherwise you can end up deleting a Field that looks unused to you but in reality it is used in a  Drop Down Menu, a Script orr Calculation and once you delete the Field all the Data is lost: the Data contained in this Field and any Calculation based on its Data.

When FileMaker Pro deletes a Field, it shows a number of Layout names during the deletion.  This is (I presume) the list of Layouts that are open whilst the Delete operation is being processed.

How to select the correct Field based on the content of the Clipboard: When I am searching for a company, I can do this by Company Name "Spak Orgochem(India) Pvt. Ltd" or by Company Number "2752".  If the Clipboard has text, enter the "Company Name" Field; if it contains numbers, enter the "Company Number" Field.
