Is your feature request related to a problem?

Not really.

Describe the solution you'd like

Often it happens that when you create a build, you decide you'd need a different base of an item. For example you want to change the base of a Ring or some armour item and you have to start the customization of the item from the beginning. It would be super nice if we could just change the base of the current selected item while working on it.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Add an item-type-related drop-down menu about this somewhere next to where the items are being customized.

Research direction

Start by locating the item customization flow and the controls used to select an item's base. Trace how the current item is represented while customization is in progress. Done means a user can change a ring or armour base from the current customization view without starting the customization over; the issue names no files or tests.
