Insert Text Element - easier maintenance

script

//Insert Text Elements
//Script by @nahumck
// Modified by @davenicholls

// Create an object containing all the text element choices
// Format 'property':'value'
// property is the text that will appear in the prompt
// value is the value that will be returned
//
// Value can be text (enclosed in "s) or a javascript function name
// Functions are used where the inserted value is to be calculated at runtime
// 
// Add extra items as required. Each item should have a comma on the end, apart from the last one (although it should work if the last one has a comma as well
