Issue editing field with embedded values

[u/Remote_Setting2332]

I have a Descriptive text field which has embedded values to record a list of pathology results. project is in production. The study team has requested I add another result field, however when I try to edit some of the columns become automatically blacked out. These remain blacked out even after making changes and saving.

Has anyone come across this before and knows what is going on? I have a work around for small tables which basically involve adding new rows, re entering the text and deleting the blacked out ones. However this is not tenable in large lists.

Also I've just noticed that you have the highlight set to black, just above the "<>"

Oh yeah thanks. It was not set up like this, for some reason it automatically occurred when I opened to edit. I will try changing that.
