Editing a Constraint

When modifying an existing constraint, the main window looks the same as when creating a new one, with the existing constraint visible in the constraint view:

From here on, parts of the constraint can be edited by selecting them and pressing Edit.

Editing a simple constraint

When using Edit with a simple constraint selected, the Edit simple constraint popup will open up for the selected constraint.

In the popup directly, only the relational operator can be changed. The terms can either be overwritten with new ones by using the + buttons, or edited by using Edit in the context menu that opens by right-clicking a term. Using Edit on a term opens up another window, see editing a term below.

Editing a term

When using Edit on a term, the Edit term window will open up. This allows full modification of the selected term, similar to creating a new one during constraint creation.

Editing a composite constraint

When using Edit while a composite constraint is selected, the Edit composite constraint window will open op.

This offers limited functionality, as it only allows changing the boolean operator and reducing the constraint by ticking one of the two checkboxes. This will remove the boolean operator and one of the two inner constraints, depending on the selection. For editing the inner constraints, select them directly in the root Edit constraint window.
