Press F2 to edit
but there is a TWEAK that allow a simple double click Code:
# Control behavior of the book list doubleclick_on_library_view = 'do_nothing' <<<<<< change this enter_key_behavior = 'do_nothing' horizontal_scrolling_per_column = True |

Thank you for your response ... I tried your suggestion ...but it did not work
I cannot single click to edit custom metadata “Custom metadata” tab does not display any of the “Custom Column” data either |

Built-from-other-columns custom columns cannot be edited since they are virtual only.
Did you use a plugin to protect/hide them from editing and then forgot you had done so? There is a Job Spy GUI Tool to do that intentionally. If you did that, you can simply undo it. DaltonST |

That is undoubtedly the problem... Now I need to try and figure out Where that menu selection is Within "Job Spy" and try to disable it ...

If that is what you did, then you are wasting your time doing anything except what I said to do. Job Spy tool menu pick for it says words like hide/protect custom columns from edit metadata.
