Part of it is likely related to that: in the database, a continuance based on a custom instruction has a “was_custom” type flag “pinned” to the conversation, so you can’t sanitize the warning message about the chat being initially generated with user custom instructions even by re-sharing it to yourself.
A ChatGPT data export will let you see the chain of previous messages that get you to a point. You can then make more deductions about why it can’t be edited.
