This is long overdue...very often I find that the labels on automation lanes are absolutely useless for identifying what that particular lane automates. Sometimes this is due to the poor labeling of parameters by the plugin vendor, other times it's because the label on the edit filter is too short (which can lead to lanes with identical labels if the first few letters of the parameter labels are the same). 
 
Automation lanes should have titles just like tracks and buses. I don't know about anyone else but I get confused fairly quickly when I have upwards of 5 automation lanes on a track, especially when the label doesn't really identify the parameter. At times I feel like I'm not using automation to its full creative potential because it's a pain to organize. We should be able to look at a bunch of automation lanes and immediately know what's going on. It's especially confusing when you go back to old projects and have to sit and work out what every automation lane is for because they're not labeled adequately.

Maybe automation lanes should have a text area like take lanes.

ARG! Accidentally downvoted your reply and now can't change it. Sorry, meant to up-vote it.

I cleared your down vote. I believe you can cast your vote again.

Ah... no, it clears it, but I can't vote again. Odd system.

Ah, hang on, I can now. It's late, I think I've gone stupid.
 

Well, it's been an emotional roller coaster so far!
 

My heart can't take it. I'm off to bed.

Voted - I would very much like having an automation lane text area similar to take lanes.
 

I was just about to post exactly the same request. Thanks Sharke. I voted.
