Most elements in Robot are editable in some kind of spreadsheet. Materials seem to be the one thing we can't edit in a spreadsheet type view. We can edit nodes, members, loads, load combos...etc. But when I go to edit materials, I need to go through a few different windows to get to them. It's super confusion for a new user. I just counted it takes 4 clicks through various buttons to get to the steel materials edit window. Add an extra click for any other material. Most of the other elements on the other hand only need a single click to view / edit. For all Finite Element Analysis, you need a few things: Materials, Section Properties, Geometry, and Loads. These should all be super easy to access and change. Materials is the outlier here as it's data is parked in a non-intuitive place in the UI.
