Wishlist: Patron Reg. Field Label Override

[Kyle Huckins]

While working on a customization to the patron registration/edit interface, I found that the draw_field_label macro grabs a label by the idl field. I've added an additional parameter where a developer can add a string to override the idl field label to display different text as needed, and we thought it might be useful for other libraries as well. The branch is available in the comments.

Kyle,

Could I have a test plan for this to give me some guidance on how to test it? We also probably need a release notes entry.

Thanks!
Kathy

Hey Kathy,

I'll write up a release note. It's a utility feature for devs to work with, so the test plan would look something like:

1. Create a new Patron Reg input field or pick an existing one.
2. Supply a string as a third parameter.
3. Save, Build
4. See that the input field's label matches the supplied string.

I've updated the branch by rebasing to the latest master, and added release notes in an additional commit - I wasn't entirely certain where to place them, but the API subfolder seemed closest to what would make sense.

Thanks, Kyle. It works well for me. I was able to add all sorts of amusing labels to the fields in the patron registration form! :-D

Pushed to master for inclusion in 3.6, along with a tweak to the release notes. Thanks, Kyle and Jane!
