How to unlock an Open Ground Data Field

Question

A created data field (number type) has suddenly become uneditable in openground professional - how do I change this? 
 The Data Field's name has changed to italics 
 
 I am using the Data Collector in conjunction with Professional, so when I perform data entry on the tablet I can edit the field but not afterwards in professional. 
 
 The field is used for calculations in other fields 
 The field is not mandatory 
 It is not a calculated field 
 
 I used to be able to edit the field after the fact and the calculated fields changed automatically - anyone know of a fix?

Hi Kiyan, 
 Here's something you can try. Someone would have to investigate further to determine the exact cause, but this might be worth a shot to get you unstuck. 
 In Professional, go to System>Configuration Packs>Manage Model, and select the Group where you are having issues. Click Manage Grids and make a small temporary change (such as changing the column order) so you can Save the grid. Then Save the grid. Go back to the project and see if you can now edit the field. (Then go back and undo the small temporary change to the grid, if necessary). 
 Again, this is a bit of a guess not knowing the exact issue. But I've had a similar issue and re-saving the grid resolved it.
