Inline Editing for Component Content in the Main Editor

[typomaniac]

First of all, thanks to the Bricks team for continuously pushing the builder forward
I just had a discussion with a customer and i can feel his pain:

At the moment, if we use a component that contains a text element (e.g. a Rich Text or Heading), we need to jump into the component itself to edit its content. This works, but it can become a bit complicated when working on content-heavy pages with multiple components.

Our idea:
It would be extremely helpful if clicking on a text field inside a component allowed us to edit that content directly in the main editor without switching back and forth into the component definition.

Thanks a lot for considering - this would really improve components a lot

I’ve just had this exact conversation with a client this morning and came here to see if this has been requested already before submitting it myself. +1 vote for this feature!

I was just writing about this. I hope the team will pay attention to this need.

It’s necessary to be able to edit a component’s default value. In many cases, the value will be practically the same, and it doesn’t make sense to force the client to rewrite the entire content just to change one word.
