Add the ability to edit the 008 field directly instead of having to open the editing box
In Leap, when you edit the 008 field by typing in the field directly, instead of opening the editing box, the position of the subfields is corrupted. The ability to edit the 008 field directly works correctly in the Client, and is an important, time-saving feature. Common edits include adding an 'a' for illustrations in position 18 or adding a second date in positions 11-14.

Clarification on the enhancement: the 008 field is currently editable without expanding and using the drop downs.
The enhancement is to no longer require you to remove the character that is in the 008 field to replace it.
For example: if you have a blank space in position 23 the enhancement would allow you to type "b" without having to highlight the space to replace it, or delete the space after typing your desired value.

Please see ticket 08338419. Amy Emery replicated the issue in 8.1 Leap. The response from the Product Team was that a fix to this bug is an enhancement request.
