Can't modify Attached MIT target

I have a simple attached order, with a Stop plus a Target set to Market If Touched.
Once I enter the position, the attached orders show on my chart appropriately.
But when I try to "drag" the target order, it jumps back to its initial position. That is, I an unable to modify the MIT target price once the order is established.
When my target is a Limit order, I can drag/modify it as always.)
The "refusal to modify" doesn't cause an entry into the Log or TSL.
Is there something I missed about MIT behavior?
Thanks,
Dale

What Trading service is this happening with?

What is the Status of that MIT Target order? You can see it in Trade >> Trade Orders and Positions>> Orders?

Almost certainly there is not anything we can do about this and this is a limitation with the Trading service you are using.

Although it might help to disable this option:

Trading Service is GainFutures (sim in this case)
Status is Open
Disabling "Use Server Side OCO and Bracket Orders did not help.
The functionality works okay on a Sim account.
I'll contact Gain about this.
Thanks.

We figured this was the case. You will need to contact Gain Capital about this.

You cannot use a server-based Market if Touched order. Instead it needs to be client-side:
Order Types: Market if Touched - Client
