Cannot edit new custom column
nataliamae This is a default behavior of SharePoint, you cannot assign custom columns to the (default) Folder content type in library. You must have added custom column to the Document content type in library.
Workaround:
You can set custom columns for folders in Grid view. Open your library in grid view using Edit in grid view option at the top of library.
