This RFE has been delivered - leading zeros is the only attribute with a general nature that can be manipulated in this fashion - Option 7.8 provides a template list where an Z command can be used to toggle the leading zero default formatting value to prevent unintentional edit. This is available with FM 14.1.15 and PTF UI77276. A new command LZero is also available when editing a template to change the global default.
