Description Brylie Christopher Oxley 2014-04-24 22:11:48 UTC
In the "Caption/Tags" section, the "Information" fields do not seem to be editable individually. This requires a pre-created template to add any details in the Information fields.

As the details, such as locations, change frequently, I would like to be able to individually edit the Information fields in addition to being able to use a template.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Caption/Tags sidebar
2. Click Information tab
3. Attempt to edit any field under Rights, Location, etc.
Actual Results:  
The fields are not editable without a template being pre-defined.

Expected Results:  
Individual fields should be editable, as photographic context can change frequently, and managing a template for every context would become combersome.

Additionally, it would be nice to be able to add/remove sub-template information. E.g. I could set up a template or my contact details, another or license details, and others for locations, subjects etc.. Then, I could add the license template, a specific subject template, and a contact template individually without overriding the previous fields.
