Hey Jarda,

One thought that crossed my mind is to think about the usage and look 
and feel of these form elements in conjunction with a jQuery plugin the 
Katello team uses currently called Jeditable.  We find it to be great 
for one off edits within our workflows.  I don't believe Conductor 
currently uses anything like this, but as we work towards some common 
elements we may consider finding uses for it across the board.
