Same here. The first three letters are "lbl", and if I don't need to handle them in a resizeStack message that's usually their whole name. But if I do need to identify them individually, then it's "lbl" & the short name of whatever field they relate to.

This simple mnemonic convention keeps fields used as labels distinct from editable fields, even if an editable field may be momentarily disabled, and also allows for uniquely identifying them if needed for layout handling.
