snip-snip
Suppose that there were two different types of situation, one in which a REAL component, ie, LM317, MC68332, 74HCT245, INA106, etc., uses its fields normally when depositied on the schematic sheet, and where a second type (a pseudo-powerport) sup[resses the auto-display of the text fields.
You could create the symbols with a 'marker' in one of the 16 part fields that are normally hidden, you then have a handle to globally edit all those parts after placement.
Clearing the 'default designator' field also might help to reduce the problem by 50%.
The only other way I can think of is to press TAB upon placement and setting the desired fields to blanks or ticking the hide box.
Have a nice weekend, Leo
