Issue

Hi, I observed that when editing an inventory value, the system enforces strict parsing that disallows absolute paths and paths starting with “../”. I often use absolute paths (and some beginning with “../”) to share inventories between tasks. Interestingly, this strict parsing does not occur when adding a new inventory. It seems that the parsing rules applied during editing are unnecessarily restrictive.

Just an FYI just use "ln -s " within your repositories :)

As a workaround I exported the project, edited the inventory inside the file and reimported the file again.
