The problem I see here is, that
a) you don't know when the user finished selecting attributes (unless 
he's clicking ok, that's what I do now)
b) if you change the field after every change in the attribute 
selection, a manually defined value may be overwritten

The way around this would IMO be a checkbox
[x] Use maximum value

I don't know what the current release plan is (GUI freeze, as fas as I 
remember, should already be in place?)
