I have the box as well, however,  for the last couple updates, it has been
grayed out.  For the life of me, there is no option I can configure to allow
me to add text in to that field.

In 8.04/10  I was able modify this field after an import of our company's
PCF file.

If I'm missing something really obvious, let me know!

Thanks
