Can't add item to Sprint Backlog - Goes against Scrum work pattern?

[ben]

When a sprint has started, it's only possible to add in existing product backlog items to the sprint backlog.

However, Scrum states that the sprint backlog can be added to directly by the development team at any time, as they often need to elaborate on existing product backlog items, adding in requirements, tasks, etc.

The only way to currently do this is to add an item to the product backlog then move it to the sprint backlog.

This doesn't follow how it should work when using Scrum. Not all tickets need to exist in the product backlog first. It's quite longwinded having to workaround this, Any plans to change?

Expected behavour:
Add item directly to active sprint backlog

Actual behavour:

No 'add item' button available. Instead have to add to product backlog then reassign to current sprint. Not compatible with Scrum work patterns.

I'm using version 6.1.4 of the API and the getObjectConfiguration method is not deprecated for me. I'm using getObjectConfiguration(String arg0, String arg1, Map<String, String[]> arg2). Structure of my service is something like this:-

public class myClass extends AbstractService
{
    public ObjectConfiguration getObjectConfiguration() throws ObjectConfigurationException 
	{
		 return getObjectConfiguration("SOMEIDENTIFIER", "somefile.xml", null);
	}
	
	@Override
	public void run() 
	{
		//  DO SOMETHING
	}
}
