What browser are you using? Any errors in the browser's dev tools? Does it happen with any import file?

Do you see the Edit button?

Does the dialog go into Edit mode when you click it?

Why would you want to change them?

The type determines what characters the field will accept and which functions can be applied to the data.

For example you can not insert "Hello World" into a number type, and you can not sum a text type.

The types are determined based on the data in your source file. Just like SQL tables, the column type is not editable after the fact.

This is before creating the table, while going through the new table wizard, I click to edit the type and I can not get any interaction. There is no problem with not being able to change them later, but I must set the to the correct types or the table will not function.

The edit option in the upper left corner was what I needed, I thought I was still in the designer and was trying to click to change the types.

Now I can fix the types I need, thanks!
