Add, edit or delete key value pairs

Add, edit or delete key value pairs

You can edit each pair individually. If you click on them, they will pop up to the top where you can edit and save. You can also delete them from here. We require a two click confirmation, so you don’t accidentally get rid of something. And you can also add new ones at the top as well. So all of that works very easily for brief manual additions.

Click on the Expand Button to widen the text fields for longer key value pairs entries.

Add

1. Enter your key value pair in the two text boxes on the top right.
2. Click the + button to add the pair to the list.
