I want to select 18 in padding but the only options are 16 and 20. Is there a way to enter a value other than 16 or 20? I tried to uncheck the blue toggle on the right but then it opened up some kind of slider which still didn’t let me choose something other than 16 or 20.

add 18 in the theme studio….it will appear at the bottom of the list of fixed spacing vaules

if you want to use the drag method they will jump by a value of five. if you hold down the shift key while dragging you get it to go by value of 1
