    No longer able to edit Metabox Custom Fields content in WordPress admin area. Unsure exactly when this started so unclear what steps preceeded this.

    Video showing issue here:

    Latest versions of WP, plugins and theme installed.

    Deactivated all plugins.
    Changed theme from Bricks to default WP theme.
    Same issue occurs.
    No caching active.

    Some Custom Post Types have same name/title as some Custom Fields. Is this an issue?

    Wordpress 6.3.1
    Meta Box 5.7.5
    Meta Box AIO 1.22.0
    Firefox 117.0b7
    Mac OS 11.7.7

    Cloudways server:
    Server architecture Linux 4.19.0-21-amd64 x86_64
    Web server Apache/2.4.57 (Debian)
    PHP version 7.4.33 (Supports 64bit values)
    PHP memory limit 256M
    cURL version 7.64.0 OpenSSL/1.1.1n

    Extension mysqli
    Server version 10.4.20-MariaDB-1:10.4.20+maria~buster-log
    Client version mysqlnd 7.4.33

    Please help!

    Thank you 🙂

    Hello,

    You can hover over the long-space area to read the description and click on it to open the field settings, screenshot https://imgur.com/K3DQj0V

    If it does not work, please export the field group to a JSON file, I will import it on my demo site and check the issue. Refer to the documentation
    https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-builder/#export--import

    OMG wow, yes, that resolved the issue. Thank you for your swift response, it's greatly appreciated 🙂

    To improve UX, please consider adding a pointer cursor when the user hovers over a row.
    <style="cursor:pointer">

    I never considered clicking the empty area of the row to open a drop-down. I also move the cursor too fast to see the helper text. Even the subtle hover state didn't alert my brain to that functionality.

    I would typically click a title link to open an item if there is no pointer cursor. Or identify a drop-down by an > arrow icon or similar to alert me to the drop-down functionality.

    I hope this feedback is helpful.

    Thanks again for your help! 🙂

    Thanks for your feedback.

    I will share this with the development team to improve GUI of the builder.
