Ask FileMaker why the following is nowhere to be found in Help Files: "are you sure you want to reset the changes made to the "status toolbar" toolbar" (See: version 13 [cdxv])?

Ask FileMaker to add the following option to the Appearance Tab in the Inspector, under the Text Formatting compartment: “SizeMask”, which should see to it that we have the option to set the Field so that any text in the Field will be viewable, regardless of the Field Size.

Ask FileMaker - How can I change an Object (Field, Label, Button) in more than one Layout?  

This will save so much time when one has to change the same Object across dozens of Layouts.  

If this is not possible in the current version of FileMaker, can this be queued for a next version?

Use the Theme function in the Appearance Tab in the Inspector
