Partition name/FS label clarification

Description
Hi, spent a few weeks thinking my new system was broken because it did not display volume names (aka Filesystem labels). Only on a bug report to udisks was I taught that there was a difference between GPT names and FS labels. ( https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/258 )
Would it be possible to add a short blurb on the "edit partition" dialog underneath the Name field that says something like, "Note: the partition name is not the volume or filesystem label" to clarify?
It was my error, however the fact that "edit partition/name" comes up first on the menu led me to go there first and look no further, thinking it was broken.
Nautilus/caja and many command-line apps apparently don't display partition names or take them into account. So, the partition name is less useful, yet more prominent in the UI. Thanks.
