    <p>The point I was trying to make is that in the iD editor, the
      field "inscription" comes up as a default and is mis-used for
      descriptions. I would like to see a way to prevent that.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Obviously, a signpost has an inscription, but that field maybe
      comes up for signpost which I would presume is the primary key. I
      usually map signposts/ guideposts in situ rather than in iD, so I
      don't know off the top of my head what fields come up for it.<br>
