Actually there is!
The custom properties inspector in the properties palette has a lower
field called "property contents". if you click on the grid icon on top,
you will get such a beast - IOW, no cursor - I wonder how many versions
of RR will it take to update that silly bug?

It is list behavior and it is editable - it's just not done right...
