Troubleshooting Greyed-Out Options in Alarm Manager of AB PLC Rslogix 5000

Question:

Hey there! I recently set up a tag-based alarm in the alarm manager of Rslogix 5000, but I ran into an issue when trying to update the condition. The options for "type, expression, limit.." were greyed out and I was unable to make any changes. If anyone has any insights on how to troubleshoot this "greyed-out" problem, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
