Locked out of editing the Category field

[Rony Armon]

I’ve recently created a Team Managed Space in which I added some work items that I want to categorize. When trying to edit the field I'm getting what seems like a permission issue:

 

Since I'm locked out of editing the Category field in the Space's settings:

 How can I remove this lock so I can edit and add values to the Category field?

Hello @Rony Armon 

You will not be permitted to change the field name or description, but you can use the + Add option button to add selection values to the Category field.

Reference the additional reply I posted on you original question.

Hi @Rony Armon 

You need to go to the list view in your space.

Add the Category field to the view, and hover right of the name and use the 3dot option to select edit field, then you can add or change options.

Hello @Rony Armon 

That's not Possible for Team-Managed Spaces. They element of company-managed spaces.

Add a work category to any of your service spaces | Jira Service Management Cloud | Atlassian Support

PS: @Rony Armon Thats Partly True Answer, That Systemfield so you can add Options, but can´t edit it like other Fields in Settings. That´s why is locked out.

Best,
