unlocks of all the selections can be made from the Selections menu.
When trying to select a value which is incompatible with a locked selection in another field, the selection

override a locked selection in a field from a specific sheet object. The field will still be locked for logical
changes stemming from selections in other fields. This option is on by default for slider objects.
