How to easily add new elements to a map

Blueprint

I am adding new elements to a map inside a blueprint in UE5.5. Each time I come back to the map to add more elements, it becomes increasingly difficult to add things to the map. The way the “Add element” button on a map is set up, you have to hit “Add element” then scroll all the way to the bottom, select the key-value pair, scroll all the way back up, hit “Add element” again, and continue this over and over. You can see how this can get annoying….scroll up, add, scroll down, select…scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll….

I have been developing in the Unreal Engine for a year and a half and have run into this annoying issue multiple times. Does anyone know a quicker solution or a shortcut to add a new element to a map? Or is this just something you have to deal with when using blueprints?
