I am logged in as Administrator, so it shouldn't be a permission issue.

I have removed the field from Transaction in the Applies To section on the Field, and also remove 'Store Value' and changed the field type (to clear any data stored in there - although there shouldn't be any as it was only created a few minutes ago).
