The checkbox does more than "nothing".  It actually creates a usable variable
with the name in "Name" (with or without a value)

What is "broken" that needs to be "fixed"?

The current behavior is exactly as requested in this enhancement (where the
value will be set as part of the Input Field insert).

It is also possible to "insert" User Fields with or with (or without) values
(without first having to use the "apply" button).   (in other words, all
variations are possible, without extra clicks)

"User Fields" do not show up in "Select" for type "Show Variable"  -- maybe
because they are global, so no real need to check the value at different
locations.

The only "limitation" with this "User Field" solution is if one wants to use
different values of the variable in different parts of the document.
