Thank you, Alan, your solution does make the field editable by appadmin. But I found that I was having some other problems with the appadmin that I had copied from the welcome app. So I copied the appadmin.py from a different app and when I did a diff, it was very different, and this other copy is working as described in the manual. Thank you for the help.
