This is nothing that can't be addressed through training. Questions on Stack Overflow with generic code actually get better responses than those bogged down with irrelevant details. You should strip out all labels, namess, even extraneous fields that don't matter. It makes for a more generic problem and solution pair that can help others as well, and eliminates the problem of leaking proprietary information.

Maybe about half the time I end up answering my own question during this step. The act of genericizing the question ends up giving me some new approach, which either works, or leads me to new existing questions-and-answers.

Yeah. When you remove all the confusion, the problem is usually pretty obvious.
