is there a legal lock against location of Middlesex Parish Registers 1539+
London area has 1000's of church & parish jurisdictions.
I am not seeing ANY indication in scan or frame commands of WHICH jurisdiction to put in the location. I've been using <blank> It's like stating someone was born in New York in 1731.
Those films were microfilmed semi alphabetic whichever book was plopped in front of the camera operator. Not by place, or year. If I was at the FHL it might take me 20 minutes to locate the church on the actual film. I did run across William Legge, [ 2nd Lord of Dartmouth, Dartmouth College named after him] CHR, with no place to put title of the father appearing in the document, and the last name was the property. UGH
CHR/Birth
PLACE<blank> NAMEGeo. Legge CHR/Year/Mo/Day 1731 JUN 20 BIRTH etc. FATHER Geo. Lewisham MOTHER Eliz. seems pretty unusable compared to actual record
[church name?]1731 JUN 30 Wm. Legge of Geo. Ld Lewisham & his lady Eliz. [Kaye] born 10 instant

Take a look at the Field help for Baptism Parish: If the locality was not recorded or was written as a variation of the word "unknown," press Ctrl+B to mark this field blank.

If in a pre-indexing process the church was autopopulated for either indexing or pre-publication processes - this specific question would not be a problem. At this point I have no way of determining if it is a problem - it might not be ...
Specific comment: @D'merrill
You are right - it would be nice if the church were populated from previous pages and if title were an option.

https://www.familysearch.org/indexing/projects/uk-england-middlesexparish-registers-15391988-part-a?type=IDX#!/ is an unpublished index. Many of these records hit the GIF back in the day under the Parish Church as the location. We currently sell access to Findmypast to GIF.
The indexing frame isn't allowing me access to prior scans. It is a one page shot. Its a huge problem. I can't compare handwriting on prior pages, and I can't see which film number the scan comes from so I can navigate up and down the frames to find WHICH church.

What I am smelling is some kind of contract problem with the Anglican Church. The Bishop's Transcripts are pretty touchy. They are not viewable online either outside of a FHC. Some are locked specifically to the FHL Salt Lake. This is a kind of a year-end-report of the Registers that the local parish makes to the head office in the Middlesex Archdeaconry. That's 28 parishes + all London. In 1666 there were 96 parishes London.
