Edit field while projecting

When projecting certain fields of a document, the UI does not allow the user to edit the document. This is a bit counter-intuitive as editing documents that have a large amount of fields is way harder than only showing the fields (via projection) that need to be edited.

    I have a collection I work with where documents regularly have hundreds of fields. As the fields aren't shown in any reasonable order, I use projections to see the ones I want. But then I can't edit them and have to go back to doing a linear search through a few hundred entries to find them.
