Your English is clear and easy to read. I just don't know which part
of that page you have problem with.

Ok I see the problem already: that is a 'getter'. It is not data. It
is a function. So you should not be able to edit it.

The bug is allowing you to edit getters. If you open a bug report we
can fix it. Or you can fix it ;-)

They are functions that pretend to be data.
