Custom field (Flagged) not editable in New Issue View

Question

I have a custom field named Flagged that is not editable on the New Issue View screen.

When I create a new issue or move the issue between statuses the field correctly appears and the checkbox options can be edited individually as seen in the screenshot below:

However on the New Issue View screen all I see is a generic Flagged icon without the ability to individually edit the options:

For reference here is a screenshot of how I could edit these fields in the old layout:

Did you get an answer on this one please?

Brandon, I believe that locked custom fields are the built-in ones which are required for Jira to work, or fields added by an add-on.  They should not be altered (unlocked).  Please look here for more details:

Did you add your custom field, Flagged, or was it added by an add-on product from the marketplace?

In either case, you may want to ping support on this one.  You are a site admin so you can create a ticket here:
