@Frank : unfortunately, it is well known that a primary key is required in the
table in order to allow writing to that that table. That requirement extends to
controls to be able to fetch and allow writing to any given table bound to the
form.

For example, in the online help :
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.0/he/text/shared/explorer/database/tablewizard03.html

"For some database systems within LibreOffice, a primary key is mandatory for
editing the tables."


Also the FAQ:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/Base/009


and even the older OpenOffice.org forum documentation :

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=26448


So I'm not really certain that this is an enhancement request that would even
be accepted. 

Personally, I think it would be a useful addition to the UI experience, but the
functionality you are requesting would require quite a lot of developer effort.
