For users that are not familiar with hyper-priors, the estimate flag in BEAUti on parametric distribution parameters (like
M and S inputs for log-normal distributions) appear confusing, and there is the temptation to click the estimate flag while it should not be checked.
Perhaps these estimate flags should be hidden for simple parametric distributions on parameters, and only be visible in certain modes (like linking being enabled by the Mode/Enable parameter linking menu).
There may be conflict with relaxed clock models using RealParameter parameterisation (like ORC).
