Improve label choice to provide both dropdown (for simple) and textbox (for complex)

      The current (as of, what, 1.370 or so?) label expression textbox for tying a job to a label/node is dramatically less usable than the old dropdown. In many (most?) cases, users won't be using the label expressions in the first place, so the textbox just adds confusion/difficulty remembering what label/node to use, which are available, etc. For that matter, specifying the master is particularly annoying, since you'd think "Master" was right, but, well, it's not - "master" is, I think.

      Anyway - I can't see a good reason to not have the dropdown of available nodes/labels still available, perhaps as the default option, with an advanced option to use the textbox for more complicated use cases. Thoughts?
