I have a series of calculate questions.

I've noticed that none of their labels show up as the alias, versus the label shows up just fine for the text question.

This makes for a VERY weird and frustrating attribute table experience

Please let these types of questions still produce field aliases.

Have you tested specifically setting the bind::esri:fieldAlias column?

I have not yet lol.

Having just tested it, it does solve the problem. 

I think that this behaviour should still be changed; bind::esri::fieldAlias seems better used for things like when the question is named "Please tell me your favorite animal" and the table alias needs to be "Favorite Animal". The default behaviour for ALL question types should be the same; the question label should be the alias by default.
