Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The latest update is great that you can edit frontmatter YAML fields. Thanks! But it's a raw text only.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if it gets developed into more user-friendly YAML editor. So the fields could be added and removed more like a table interface.

Describe alternatives you've considered
It's possible to edit now the fields, but to give front matter in hands of non-technical personnel is complicated.

Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or entry points to inspect. Start by locating the existing frontmatter YAML editing interface; done would mean non-technical users can add and remove frontmatter fields through a table-like editor rather than raw text.
