Improve data entry when 'one of' is used for query criteria

The data entry process for one of fields in web view is incredibly inefficient. The system starts with one single field for entry and you have to click the button to add another for every additional value you want to add to the one of list. Click to add the new field and then type, click type, click type, etc. Yes, I know you can copy/paste into this option, but sometimes the data I need to enter isn't in a format that be copied/pasted. In database view, the fields are just there and we are able to quickly and easily tab to the next line and enter the next value.

I did several tests and timed myself entering the exact same information in database view and web view. I timed just the data entry part, starting with the list only. My testing found web view data entry took THREE TIMES AS LONG as data entry in database view.

Please consider making improvements to the data entry process to eliminate the need to click to add a new field every time you need to add another value. In my head, I imagine something similar to database view where the fields are just there to type in. An alternate option would be that when something is typed in the first empty field, a new empty field appears below it so users can tab and keep typing. The only concern I would have about this second option is I don't want to run into a scenario where we have to wait for the new field to appear before we can start typing. I type 100+ WPM and often run into issues thorughout web view where my typing is faster thant he system can think and so it doesn't catch every character I enter.
