Default Edit Drop Down List


I have set-up a paragraph that has numerous drop down lists controls and text controls. I need to edit the sentence in the drop down list. It reads, "and built between _ and _." I need to type in a year where the underscores are and delete the underscore. For some reason, this one particular box will not let me edit the comment. I have other drop boxes and can edit the comment in those boxes. This box is not locked and when I check "remove content control when contents are edited" nothing happens. Any ideas on what could be wrong or how to set up this box so I can edit the content? Thanks.
