Renaming Controls in the Inspector Using Code

Why would you want to rename controls in the inspector? Aid in identifying the function of a control. Assist an end-user in identifying an appropriate control. Because we can.

I wish someone had written a manual for DaVinci Resolve's hidden features. Currently, there are around a trillion snippets of information spilled over the internet. There is a massive manual but I think some of the pages must have fallen out. One day I may even write a manual, maybe when I retire to my narrowboat on the English canal network.  On a completely unrelated topic, I worked in the tourism industry for fifteen years and when based in Lanzarote airport their was a company...
