I think that's the whole catch about sealed fields: they cannot be unsealed. Wouldn't it be easier to just create a new field that does exactly the same as the one you're working with at the moment? @Joe: aha!

Unsealed fields seem to allow changes just fine. Is there a way to safely 'unseal' a field?

It might be just an issue, that Fields Explorer doesn't automatically refresh the retrieved values and you would have to do a manual refresh to see the changed properties. @Joe: Have you checked in SharePoint whether the changes have been provisioned?

I typed the site into the URL box and clicked open. Site opens, lists are visible. I find the field I want to adjust, set for instance ShowInListSettings to true, and click Update. It asks if I want to Push Changes, I click Yes, and I get message box the item successfully updated. But if I look at another field and come back, the changes are gone.

As it's as Windows tool it reuses the credentials of your user account and uses those to communicate with SharePoint. @Joe: How did you authenticated in the tool?

Maybe because I was using it on a Forms Based Authentication site? It would tell me the changes had been pushed, but if I reloaded the field the changes were gone. I was trying to make a field visible in list settings and in new item. Nice tool, but the Update function did not seem to work for me.
