Click Library option.
Click Parameters tile.
Click the row of the parameter you want to change. To locate the parameter you want to edit, you can enter its name in the search box or sort the columns. If the parameter is not listed, it may not yet have been given a display name. To show unnamed parameters, you can select Named or Unnamed from the filter tags.
This opens the detail panel of the selected Parameter
Click on Edit button
