AddField() and arrays

I'm puzzling over some unexpected behavior and am hoping someone on the staff or a more experienced member can give me some insight.

Context:
I was goofing around with Sky object and poking at the cloudHeightPer field. I soon noticed that changes only affected the 0th cloud layer. Thinking this was strange, I took a look at the engine. and saw this:

addField("cloudHeightPer", TypeF32, Offset(mCloudHeight,Sky),MAX_NUM_LAYERS);

I though, "Gee. This is an array, with a mCloudHeight for each layer. I should be able to specify three values here." So I tried and got nothing. More specifically, not matter what I tried, syntatically, I could only get one value into the field. My real issue is the Inspector. I can set the array values from script as follows:

cloudHeightPer[0] = "0.349971";
cloudHeightPer[1] = "0.3";
cloudHeightPer[2] = "0.199973";

It seems as if this is a bug with the Inspector, but before I go there I'd like to see if I'm missing something.

Question:
In this specific case, mCloudHeight is a 3 element array of type F32. I'm tyring to figure out if there is a short way to populate all three elements using the current addField() specification. i.e. How do I get a value into element 1 and 2 using the Inspector?

OR,

How can I change the addField() above to allow me to intialize all three elements from the Inspector.

Footwork I've Done:
0. I've looked at the code in consoleObject.cc and simBase.cc, where the elements are manipulated.
1. Discovererd that the elementCount parameter for addField() is used for streams, but not much else. It is used to make sure the right amount of data is streamed.
2. Seen alternate methods of the form:

addField("cloudHeightPer0",          TypeF32,       Offset(&mCloudHeight[0],Sky));
addField("cloudHeightPer1",          TypeF32,       Offset(&mCloudHeight[1],Sky));
addField("cloudHeightPer2",          TypeF32,       Offset(&mCloudHeight[2],Sky));

I would like to avoid this solution if at all possible, because it is not backwards compatible and would not qualify for a patch.

Definition of addField() to save lookup:

void ConsoleObject::addField(const char*  in_pFieldname,
                       const U32 in_fieldType,
                       const dsize_t in_fieldOffset,
                       const U32 in_elementCount,
                       EnumTable *in_table)
{
   AbstractClassRep::Field f;
   f.pFieldname   = StringTable->insert(in_pFieldname);
   f.pGroupname   = NULL;				// MM: Reset new Group Field.
   f.type         = in_fieldType;
   f.offset       = in_fieldOffset;
   f.elementCount = in_elementCount;
   f.table        = in_table;
   f.validator    = NULL;

   sg_tempFieldList.push_back(f);
