nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Where can I edit the values of the closed Category field?

The Jira field 'Category' with field type 'Category' is always on 'CLOSED'.

I am talking about this field:

When I try to edit this field, I receive the following message:
"This field was created by Jira or one of its plugins, and can't be edited"

As you can see below:

Now, as you can see in the screenshot above, there is a link 'Edit options'. And in the past I was able to define some values for the category. But this option is completely gone. Below you can find the category values I was able to setup. Now I want to change them, but I can't. Any ideas how I can still edit them?

Hello @Koen Ferlin

System fields are locked and must remain intact as part of the configuration.

You can manage the category here:

Categorize work items in the list view | Jira Cloud | Atlassian Support

Hello @Arkadiusz Wroblewski

Thank you for your quick feedback. I followed the steps you have sent me, but in my list view I am also unable to change these settings:

My IT department confirmed me that I am still admin in the software, so normally that should not be the problem.

Kind regards

Then you are probably missing some permissions, because I can edit the options everywhere on my side.

I see the same as you, but when you click on the 'Edit options', then I am unable to edit anything:

Also, in my roles pannel, I have the following roles active for my account. This has not been changed last few months:
