I deliberately made the view in BibDesk uneditable, because I think we're too close to a release to mess with that now (though if you really must, you could just go into the BibDesk bundle and make it editable in Interface Builder, if you've got that). I did make it editable in AppleScript though, as that's so much more hidden and can't be done accidentally (so it's your own responsibility). You can see the scripting dictionary using Script Editor, the property name should be obvious.
