The form "Sequencer for Daily Data" enables the user to choose which elements are showed on a key-entry form. Currently this shows Element_id (an anonymous number) rather than the Element name. This implies that the user remembers the Element_id codes and types them in manually. Can this be changed to display/choose the Element_Name names? As a general rule, any attribute with "_id" as a suffix is an anonymous code which could be changed in any implementation, and should therefore not be visible to users. This will be useful as we change to whole-Earth system monitoring and include new elements. There is a similar issue on the Windrose data selection dialogue box, specifically when selecting data from AWS.
