Currently, when editing a UDT instance/definition in the Tag Editor, you need to do an extra click to access the **Parameters** — either by clicking on the Parameters section or entering edit mode.

Since parameters are often the first thing you want to check or modify. I think it would be much more efficient if the parameters were **shown and editable directly at the root level** , without needing to expand or navigate further.
