[By design] Can't perform field repairs on locked items

1. Title: Can't perform field repairs on locked items
2. Reproduction Rate: 100%
3. Blocker? No
4. Details: You can't perform field repairs on locked items. This becomes an issue in combat if armor breaks because you also can't unlock armor while in combat. This became a huge issue when facing the cabalist who broke my entire tanking set that I couldn't take off, repair, or unlock because I was in combat. Using repair kits on locked items should just work or at the very least we should be able to toggle armor from locked to unlocked while in combat.
5. Steps to Reproduce: Try to repair broken armor that is locked to inventory while in combat. It simply can't be done.
6. User Specs: MSI GT72S 6QE Dominator Prog G

 

This is by design. However, this would make an excellent enhancement to the locked item feature. It is pretty strict at the moment - no changes can be made to the item in this state.
