Whew; busy season with Field Day, Fireworks stand and Special Olympics volunteering.... OK, I made a series of mods to mainapp, memedit, memdetail and chirp_common that added a new driver-generated column 'Note'. Then I realized that this displays exactly the same as the Comment column. So now I would like to try simply adding a new radio-feature option that runtests.py would check in the compare_mem module and skip testing Comment if that feature is set. This would let us use Comment for driver-generated info that is not saved , uploaded or downloaded when that feature is set. Make sense?

OK, that Information Prompt mod went pretty well. Would it be possible to try adding a new 'Calculated' or 'Generated' UI column where the driver would load channel information at the get_memory call? This would be 'write-only' (my personal favorite) text that is not uploaded, downloaded or even set back into memory. My application would be to generate the FT-450 memory group labels, where channel 53 is also labeled 'MEM-02-03'; the 3rd channel of 10 50-chan groups.
If the implementation is right, I could go for something like this. Maybe bang out a POC and post it so I can see what all would be involved and we can discuss.
Does it need to be a column necessarily, vs. something in mem.extra? If it's a column, it needs to be readonly for the UI user in some way that won't be confusingly un-ediable when they think it should be. Could also be a hover-over tooltip type thing...
