Can an Editor macro collect consistent NC-Base metadata from programmers?

Direct answer
A custom macro can prompt for required database fields and write them into the NC program in the format NC-Base expects. This reduces repetitive typing and improves consistency when new programs are created, especially when selected inputs are made mandatory.
Practical checkpoint
Compare the macro output with the configured NC-Base program format and reject incomplete or malformed values before the file enters the library.
