Form not allowing us to change the name due to strange permissions error

Form not allowing us to change the name due to strange permissions error

As a Super admin on a zoho instance we have a strange error condition where one of teh forms is not allowing us to change the name of a field. The error message says that I "do not have the permission to rename the column ,  only workspace admin has the permission" . I am logged in as super admin and have also tried it on a developer account and we get the same error message !!! 
Any ideas on what could be happening?
