Describe the bug When annotating in Label studio, when users are selecting the pre-annotated field and click on another field, the field gets overwritten.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to a project where data is pre-annotated
2. Click on any field from pre-annotated section and select any other field from available field
3. Error is that the field get overwritten

Expected behavior I think this is expected behavior but still I want to disable it due to my requirement. Any help to disable this feature would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi @sumit-xpanse - I've reached out to the team to see if there's a labeling config-level fix for this issue.

Cheers, Jo
