Version 2.25.7, self hosted.

From what I've read, you should be able to go to Manage > Manage Configuration > Manage Columns and edit the list text. But all of the fields there are disabled (look but don't touch). I am using the administrator account and can change most everything else.

Similarly however, Permissions Report is disabled showing a lock on each section's title. This is where I thought I might be able to tweak something to enable Manage Columns. The Admin Guide is a little brief on the topic.

Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?

That is strange, apart from the first one you should be able to change all there.
Creae another admin account and see if the same thing happens.

Thanks for the reply but no dice. Set up a new admin account and both config sets are still disabled.

which buttons are available below the field listings and also which poroject has been selected?

Logged in as administrator. The account is listed as a user on the Project page. The problem occurs no matter which project is selected. I've created screenshots showing the problem (I hope). The images do not show in "preview" for the forum so I've posted the link to Google Drive below what should be the image.

Aside from the check-marks, there are no buttons on the Permissions page. The Columns page has buttons on the bottom, seemingly disabled (light coloration). The buttons are Update Columns For Current Project, Copy Columns From, Copy Columns To.

Thanks as always for reaching out.

The fields may look greyed out but if you click on the testbox itself, it will get a red border. Then you can add/remove fields and save it.
The buttons look the same as on my installation.

The Columns text box does get a red border when I click in it but the text is not editable. I presume that I should be able to just edit the text, that there is no other editing UI.

You can use settings in config_inc.php, copy the setting $g_csv_columns (and others) from config_defaults_inc.php to config/config_inc.php and adjust to your liking

cas, thank you very much for the guidance. If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer! Putting the field list in config\config_inc.php works just fine.

And regarding Permissions, it's starting to dawn on me that since it's called Permissions Report, if you really need to change it, see "config" above. The way it displays just lead me to believe that it could be updated through the UI.

good that it worked out for you

But wait! There's more!

Just upgraded to v2.25.8 and guess what. I can edit those fields now in the UI!

even better but 2.26 has just been released, suggest to use the latest and greatest
