I'm not sure I agree with this. I don't really see an issue with being context
aware. Hints get missed with potentially far reaching consequences in the case
of a batch edit. Logical, context aware behavior seems more user friendly. It
makes sense to populate that field in the case of serials and new items, but
not in the case of item edits. I don't really find that to be an inconsistent
behavior.
