Changing The units of an existing parameter from mm to None doesn’t seem possible without re writing it?

Changing The units of an existing parameter doesn’t seem possible without re writing it?

I made a mistake in writing a parameter whereas I set the value to mm and not None. After doing this I cant find a way to change the unit value without deleting it and re writing from scratch.

I’ve attached a small video showing the parameter “Shelf_Peg_Hole_Quantity” and my attempt to change the mm value.

Is there a way to invoke the original set up dialogue box?

The model you attached does not have the Parameter you mention wanting to change the units so I created one with the same name. @g-andresen has correctly told you that you cannot change the units, in the parameter table, except by retyping it. There is a way to workaround this issue when you enter the parameter in the Pattern dialog box. The video will explain.
