iLogic form edit property with formula

So I have my content center parts set up to populate the description property with a formula, for an angle it is set to =L <G_H> X <G_W> X <G_T> X <G_L>.  The issue I'm running into is when the parts are generated as custom parts I also have an iLogic form that people use to update all the relevant properties of the file and the form won't allow a change to the description property, I'm assuming because it is a formula rather than just a string.  Is there a way to let the form be able to override the formula with typed in text?

It appears you cannot manually change an iProperty from a form if it is set up with a formula.  The only thing i could think is to use 2 simple iLogic rules to switch between Formula or custom.

Just make sure you add the Description iProperty to the form when it does not have a formula, otherwise the field will be locked to read only

Thanks for the reply, I had already thought of that and I have a button in place already that overrides the formula, I was just hoping there was a way to type the description in and not have it revert back to the formula without running the extra rule.
