Option to Hide Field Names for Calculation and Relationship Fields in Badges and References

I'd love the option to toggle whether or not field names for calculation and relationships fields should show up on the badge or reference layouts.

For example, I have a "Full Name" calculation field. In the badge view, all I want to see is the calculated info eg. "Ahmad Dowla." But every badge prefixes the calculation with the field name so its "Full Name: Ahmad Dowla." Having a blank field name doesn't help because you get ": Ahmad Dowla." This is an inefficient use of space for the badge. The same applies for relationship fields.

A setting that allows us to choose whether or not we want the field name displayed in badges and references would be helpful.

  As a conceptual alternative, just a relatively simple layout/coding alteration would solve the problem.  If the field name/label could be put in say 10pt ABOVE the calculation/relationship field content (which could be in say16pt or ratios to that effect), then you can have whatever label you want without it stealing away screen space from the data you actually want to show.
  
  e.g. mocked up with faux <> tags to show my thinking, rather than the current

  <16pt><greytext>This Is A Long Calc/Relationship Field Label:</greytext> <blacktext>Joe Bloggs</blacktext></16pt>

  turn it into

  <10pt><greytext>This Is A Long Calc/Relationship Field Label:</greytext></10pt><br>
  <16pt><blacktext>Joe Boggs</blacktext></16pt>

  +1 for this Ahmad

   

  It must be a Podio bug because adding the field label is so silly that it can't be intentional
