Threaded Hole Standard bug???

I have added a standard to a part model (ANS__UNF). The threaded holes in the model are currently .3750_24 UNF. However, I need to change them to .4375_20 UNF.

Problem is, when I try to edit the thread size, there is no longer an pulldown listing all the thread sizes (The little arrow is no longer there). It shows the current size, but there is no way to change it. I've tried to type in the size manually, but I get an error. I tried to remove the standard from the model, within the hole definition window, but it keeps telling me it can't because it is being used in at least one hole (I've unchecked the threaded button on all hole features.

Is this a bug? Is there a fix?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I was able to remove the standard and reapply to get the correct size.

But I still can't edit the size without deleting the standard and starting over.
 
Runz - modify the text file and restart Catia. This should read the new file.

Are you saying that I would need to modify the text file everytime a change was required?
 
How often do you change standards? We are talking about the part design hole function right? not drafting.
(C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B16\intel_a\reffiles\standard) This will only adjust whats in the list, you should have access to the pull down choices unless tied with a formula.
