 Inline edit for a lookup table?

I have a look up table which allows for inline adds, but I can't figure out how to enable inline edits. In choose pages for the look up table I have both inline edit and inline add check boxes checked. The inline add works fine, I am just missing the ability to edit. Does someone know what I might be missing? I am using PHPRunner version 5.3(Build 6843).

Here is a screen shot of my lookup table (notice no inline edit)

Inline Add/Edit will be available when you access this table directly. While you are in 'Select record from lookup table' mode you can only select record or add a new one.

Thanks for your answer Sergey. Can this be added as an enhancement request? As it seems that if you have the option to add values you should also have the option to edit values.

I'm afraid we are not going to add this feature soon. Add makes total sense there as you might need to select an item that is not in lookup table yet. Editing is a totally different story, it's more like maintenance. We just want to keep interface clean.

No worries, I have been in the industry long enough to understand that end user complaints don't always resolve to favorable technical solutions.
