I am trying to edit the fields in a drop-down menu on an already-created board, but I don’t get the little pencil icon. How do I do that? I took over as owner of the board, but I didn’t create it
Hello @Alyse_Wax, welcome to the Asana Community Forum 
You are a full member of your workspace/organization not a guest user yes?
Here is more info on how to edit fields: How to Create and Use Custom Fields in Asana | Product Guide • Asana Product Guide
The person that has created them might have restricted them though so only they can edit.
Does that help?

That does not help. I found those guides, I don’t get the pencil icon to edit. I am a full member of the workspace. How do I know who created it? We’ve had a lot of turnover at our company recently
Hi @Alyse_Wax, and thanks @Andrea_Mayer for the initial probing and troubleshooting 
If you don’t see the pencil icon, it’s likely because whoever created the custom field has selected the “Only you can edit this field’s settings” (see screenshot below)
I would recommend reaching out to the project owner. There is a good chance they’ve created this custom field and can untick this option, locking edit rights!

Thanks! How do I find out who is the owner? I looked at the list of members and it doesn’t say anyone is the owner. I put myself as the owner and it didn’t change anything. I suspect whoever created the project is no longer with the company and therefore has been removed from the project.
