I dont look at existing statements even now when the button is at bottom, especially if the item has way too many statements. Never bothered checking. It shouldnt be something users fulfil but the server/website should do automatically.

Agreed with every single word of Mietchen's. I'd imagine an interface, where as I type it suggests properties, like IDE suggesting variables/commands. I choose the one I want to edit, and it shows me any values it has right now.
