How to unlock locked fields? (solved)

Hi,

I have manually added temporary information to some fields, which I would now to be overwritten by the data sent by the FusionInventory plugin.  However on the computer page, these fields have a lock (see pasteboard.co/2u8SLqq1VhrM.png) and I can't find a way to unlock them.  There is an action "Locks (fields)" which opens an empty window (see pasteboard.co/zLjkS8LpNTjT.png).

And there is also an old bug report at github.com/glpi-project/glpi/issues/8378 which for some reason seems to have been abandoned. In the documentation I couldn't find a section about locked fields

Can anyone tell me how one can unlock those locked fields?

sorry for the strange URLs, but this forum doesn't allow me to post links :-(((

I found the solution just now: In the (very long) list on the left side of the computer information there is also a button "Locks" from where I could unlock the fields and all is fine now. I find the UI slightly confusing, though.

Great! Maybe it make sense to remove/repair the Button from the Action-Menu (top right) and the mass-data-edit on the computer-page.

Does anyone know how to unlock the inventory locks such as Alternative Username but in version 10.0.9?
