This is one of many tickets requesting the ability to add, delete, append to or remove from a field. I'd like to implement that feature in this plugin and then integrate it to the Trac core (​​trac:#11452). I'm closing these tickets as duplicates so that we can have the discussion in a single ticket. Duplicate of #9502.
