 Description   

User needs to take extra step in order to pick another value in the link field (delete + add). Imho it is reasonable to add button that would allow to change/pick another value.

In the end, we'll have to implement two types of "editability" for these fields:

  • there's a need to disable the text field, so that the user can only pick from the available values and not fill-in anything else
  • there's a need to diable the field entirely for editing. That would also mean that the trash icon would be unavailable.

Assuming the "fieldEditable" refers to the first, I second your observation.

I'm also fine with replacing the "Select" button with an edit icon to gain some extra space. We'll eventually have to rework those fields, use a "select" icon inside the field and icons for adding new values. But for now, that's a clear solution that brings advantages without requiring the user to learn a lot.

Thanks.
