Request - Edit Mode for Unit and Trigger lists in ME

[Exorcet]

The ME allows us to view lists of objects in our missions which is very helpful, but we can't edit the information in these lists. This would be helpful, especially if we could multiselect, allowing us to change to change things like skill level for many groups at a time. I envision something like this:

An "Enable Editing" checkbox that can allow for the unit list to be locked to prevent accidental changes. There could also be additional options like setting the ME to automatically add unit or group name prefixes or suffixes. The ME does this automatically as of now, but is limited to numbers.

In the example image above there is a dropdown for unit Skill for Ground-1. If multiple units were selected, the screen should appear the same but with the light blue highlight on more units, and the dropdown menu should impact all selected units.

It might also be nice to expand the unit list to show which liveries are selected. At the moment it can be a big hassle to set camo for different ground units across a mission.

There used to be a super useful tool, by @ajax, which listed the liveries and bort numbers ... it looked like this:

 

 

ED later adopted the Show/Hide capability, but the bort numbers and skins were really handy to catch errors.
