Following up on this message. Was a version of a table ever introduced where you could edit/add new instances to it? This seems to be a helpful feature. The DetailsViewer/DetailsEditor can get pretty lengthy for a blank node and would be visually and user friendly if there was a way to put these into an editable table.
