Something curious about g_form.getLabelOf('SysBoomBah');

As I was pondering issues associated with an Update Set containing changes to the INCIDENT TABLE and FORM scripts such that I do not want to "break" some older incidents but allow NEW ones to use the new functionality, I was surprised to find something I did not expect.

I *expected* that what would be returned from a statement such as:

g_form.getLableOf('Any_Made_Up_Column_Name_You_Please');

returns what you entered if the column does not exist (as if the column DOES exist.)

No big deal, but just unexpected.

was an empty string or even an error but what IS returned is what you entered - if the column does not exist (as if the column DOES exist.)
