I want to use field substitution in admin email but I want it to show the "Label" rather than the "Value" for the field. How do I do that?

There's no substitution usage for returning just the field label. You'd have to manually add the field label to the email then substitute in the value or substitute in both using the formatting parameter set to div or span.

I'm not sure I understand, but it looks like I'll have to do things manually in any case. What I have is a field that stays consistent for an individual over time, but from time to time we need to change the reported name (label) of the field. There may be up to a hundred different choices for the field, administratively selected from a drop box. So if I understand that I need to manually enter then I'll need to compose the emails individually rather than bulk. The field names are actually a shorthand reference that I use internally. Am I getting this right?

Unfortunately at this time there's no means of substituting in only the fields label. You can only substitute it in with the value as well and only for a div or span formatted output. Example as follows.
Div
[cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" formatting="div" /]
Span
[cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" formatting="span" /]
These might not display how you're needing or wanting them to though, but at this time it's the only means for outputting the field label.
Div
[cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" formatting="div" /]
Span
[cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" formatting="span" /]
These might not display how you're needing or wanting them to though, but at this time it's the only means for outputting the field label.

I appreciate your patience. I need to be very literal.
1. If I understand "div" and "span" correctly, it is an either/or choice with "span" being in-line and "div" breaking to a new line, Correct?
2. The name of the field is cb_patriarchtree. In this case, would I do [cb:userfield field="cb_patriarchtree" formatting="div" /] ? Or is it [cb:cb_patriarchtree field="FIELD_NAME" formatting="div" /] ? Or something different?

Yup, that's right. See our substitution tutorial below for further usage information.2. The name of the field is cb_patriarchtree. In this case, would I do [cb:userfield field="cb_patriarchtree" formatting="div" /] ?
