please honor field attributes

Libraries mature and evolve.
It would help immensely if the many hours of work spent on libraries easily could be moved into existing designs.
thanks

Do we have a flag that tells us whether the field was auto-placed (and cleared when manually moved)? (I had a quick look at the code and couldn't find anything.)
Anyway, if we did it would be easy enough to at least update those that fields that were autoplayed, and perhaps even have a "remove manual overrides" button (or something to that effect).
