We used to be able to edit the Title field on the right hand side and not in the Tag Panel sidebar. Can this feature be re-instated. It made for editing batches much easier.

Thanks

It still works. Click on a line in column view to select it, then double click on the Title cell.

I've done that. I can change the title, but when I press Enter, the title is returned to what it was previously.

OK. Open the Customize Columns dialog and from there look at the **Title** options dialog. Verify that the value for Field in that dialog is **%title%** (see screen shot below). Without that value, the field is read-only in column view.

Then take a look at the files that you tried to edit in this way using the extended tag view (ALT+t).  
You will surely find created tag fields with the name TABL.
