This represents how Ctrlr really works, the modulator layer is detached from the UI layer it does things underneath, you shouldn’t modify it if it has a UI layer attached because otherwise they won’t work together well.
There will be a situation (soon i hope) that modulators will be without UI (or controlled by other layers), but even then you’ll want to modify that new layer instead of directly interacting with the modulator.
I’ll try to make more of those properties ReadOnly so there is less confusion when starting.
