When adding a profile route the "Station Values" dropdown lists all ShapeFile attributes fields that are of type "Float". This defaults to the first arbitrary field that happens to be Float. In the case below StatSep.
In other tools (and I believe earlier versions of the GCD) we have tried to help the user out by searching for the most appropriately named attribute field and pre-selecting this field. In the case of Profile routes this might be "Description" or failing that "Station". We could come up with a short list of candidates.
Like I said, this is super minor and just a suggestion.
This is super minor, ease-of-use suggestion...
