Why is the default input of current source not its current?

With resistors, voltage sources, inductors, and capacitors, the default field when modifying the parameters is the rating... makes it quite convenient to double click the element and set the value.

Why was the design decision made to make the default field for the current source the name, instead of the current? I'm used to it by now, but it simply irritates me every time I use a current source.

If you're worried that users will be annoyed that you change the default entry field of this element, perhaps you can make this a user preference (or perhaps it is already, and I have no idea where to find it).

Hi @DYLH, we just fixed this so current sources are consistent with the other ones you listed! Glad you found it to be a convenient behavior. Enjoy :)

Now... can you do the same for the VCVS, etc? ;)
