Hello!
I've noticed that after I updated Calibre to 6.1.0, I can no longer edit custom columns built by other columns by clicking on a book in that column from the library screen. When I do, the text of the column changes to "editing templates disabled" and I cannot change it. I can still edit the template by going through Preferences>Add Your Own Columns, but it is difficult to edit the longer program templates in that smaller box, and as someone who just started learning this feature, I liked having the instant feedback of the previous editing window so I could see if I made a mistake without restarting Calibre to see if I return an error.

I've looked through what feels like every option in the Preferences, but I cannot find a way to reenable the Editing Templates function. Am I missing something, or should I just roll back Calibre to a previous version?
