Add another Ingot before selecting work item, or change work item to a different work item

[D3Volts]

So I was making Steel Chain and had made 9 pieces so far and have just a couple more to go.  Maybe I got a little rushed or complacent, but anyway, I messed up.  I dropped one ingot on the anvil and basically double-tapped to add the second one - a behavior learned from making Brass Plates (because Brass can't be smithed into anything but plates).  So now I have a work item for a Padlock, which I have zero use for.  No problem, I'll just chisel it into bits and resmelt them...  here we go, 20 Steel Bits and.. ... melting point 1502...  Nothing I can do with them.

I've done this before, with Bronze and with Copper, but it never stung like this.  I'm not asking for a way to work with Steel Bits, I just think you should be able to add a second ingot to a work item if you haven't selected what to make yet.  The Add Ingot button should backtrack out of the Work Item menu if nothing is selected yet, slap down the additional ingot, and open the menu back up.  At least that way if you accidentally drop two ingots when you only meant to drop one, you still have the menu and can select a work item to utilize both Ingots.

Or perhaps a way to change the work item.

I've done that a time or three.  That darn School of Hard Knocks sure does teach a tough lesson, don't she?
