Question about creating a custom catagory

Hi all, I know a lot of you have become experts in creating and augmenting the provided categories. I'm about to start prepping a 5e game and want to create a custom monster topic. At first I was planning to create a really nice topic with lost of custom tables and such and then just keep duplicating it as I add monsters. However, if I do that I lose the ability to use the quick create function :( So, I decided to try making a custom category instead. Since RW will not let me define a custom format or default entry in a snippet, my topic will not be nearly as pretty :(, but I have accepted that. Now, I duplicated the existing monster/enemy category and then changed it to suit my needs. Is there a way to remove the default text box? Interestingly, not all my sections have this text field and I can't figure out why some do and others don't. My first section is the "Overview" with a snippet for Creature Type, size, alignment,and description. That worked fine and looks as expected. The next section is Stats with snippets for AC, Speed, and Hit Points. When I go and create the actual topic I end up with a text snippet at the bottom of the section with the "purpose" from the category description grayed out in the box. In my case is says "statblock" because that is what I put in the "purpose" field. Is there a way to stop RW from adding this snippet to the bottom of the category??
 
I thought that the default Text Snippet was per-Section, and it was suppressed if you had Auto-Added a Text Snippet or any two other Snippets in the Section. Guess not, or at least not anymore. :(

Might have to play with this again tonight.
 
Hmm, I did rename and use some of the sections that were a part of the orignal catagory I duplicated. Perhaps that is what makes it happen only in some instances? Anything you learn would be appreciated.
