Why is it that when you click on a particular Metric title, you cannot click to edit somewhere in the input field and you have to either select all of the text and then use the cursor fields to move off of the "select-all" action -or- you can start typing and it replaces everything? It is very unwieldy for editing these text fields.

Hello Paul, thank you for the question. People usually rename their metric titles all together instead of editing a part of it. So when you click on a title and it selects everything and that is intentional. If you would like to, I can create a product feedback. Thank you

Sure... but... if you want to edit it or change it, it does not allow that easily. All standard form fields allow for clicking somewhere in the field itself to edit it, so I'm not sure why this is not allowed. I don't mind that it auto-selects when you first click, but you should at the very least allow for clicking somewhere inside the text field instead of forcing the user to use cursor keys.

Yes I understand it can be a problem when trying to edit a single part of it as it does not let you select a single word. I will go ahead and create a product feedback for this. I appreciate for reporting this. Is there anything else I can do for you?
