Paginated Report -Dataset Query Window

I am trying to modify the query which is already created by someone else. I am unable to do so. Is there any character limit for the query window or could there be any other limitations ?
When I tried removing the entire query and started typing, it is allowing me to do so. However when I try altering the existing query, not a single letter is been typed on the query.

Note: Below screenshot is just a reference. This is not the actual query. M

Hi, @IamPrade 

If the query is created through the query designer, direct text editing may be restricted. Try switching to text mode to edit.

Also make sure you have enough permissions to modify the dataset. If the dataset is shared or managed by another user, you may need higher permissions to make changes. I've observed that your data source and query box are grayed out, and the file may be locked or being used by another user, preventing you from making modifications.
