Studio templates contain an attribute and a StringValue that can lead to confusing FTUE

Reproduction Steps

StringValue:

  1. Open Roblox Studio
  2. Open any of the following templates:
  • Village
  • Castle
  • Suburban
  • Racing
  • Pirate Island
  1. Observe the StringValue named DefaultToolboxSearch at the same level as Workspace and other services.

Attribute:

  1. Open Roblox Studio
  2. Open any of the templates
  3. Select Lighting in the explorer
  4. Scroll down to the Attributes section and observe the UseCurrentLighting attribute

Expected Behavior

I don’t expect the Attribute or ObjectValue to be in these places. If they’re necessary for whatever reason, they should be hidden so that new users or anybody wishing to use templates doesn’t get confused by them and what they do.

Actual Behavior

Attribute:

ObjectValue

This is used as a sort of hacky solution for the toolbox to automatically search for the query (in the string value), removing this value would cause the toolbox to load up without the toolbox searching for the specific query, so either this functionality would have to be dropped or changed to be loaded from something other than an object in game. This is not a recent addition and has existed since at least 2018

That makes sense, thanks for the explanation! Now that I know that I definitely think it should just be hidden from the explorer, seems like it could be an easy fix too.
