Auto detect ?

I think it would be useful. We use the convetion of [generated field]
e.g sqare brackets surronding generated fields(text). A link to the frame
containing the base for deciding might be useul too.

I think this topic is worth a discussion on the developers mailing list.
It would be quite useful to be able to fill in or change conversation data
trough the GUI. It should probably be made trough protocol-preferenses or a
separate conversation menu possibly with an UAT like thingy per conversation
data type. having a conversation reference in the tree and beeing able to right
click it to bring up the menu would be nice too.

Anders
