This occurs because the fields can only be edited in their category of origin - the \"parent category\".\n\nHowever, it is quite easy to make changes in a group. The first step is finding the origin of the field creation, where the `edit` options becomes visible.\n\nOnce that field has been located, follow the instructions below:\n\n1.
