IMO, it may make some sense to permit adding attribute fields automatically if user adds columns to the search results via <F9>

For example, let's say user is looking at a bunch of items & realizes that some have been completed so adds two columns to the view: completed & completed date.

User can't enter data in those fields until going thru the motions of inserting these fields to the attributes for each item.

Even tho user has option of adding completed flag on the fly, the option described above could be useful as another approach.

Thank you for your consideration.
