STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a file on the desktop 2. Click on the mouse right button -> Properties -> Permissions OBSERVED RESULT Unable to change user/group. Note that the same operation made in the Dolphin (same dialog box) is possible because the fields are editable. EXPECTED RESULT That the properties window called from the desktop has the same functionality as the dialog box called by Dolphin (also, when the user changes user/group, you must automatically update the desktop otherwise the previous values are shown). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
Works for me.

Note that you can only change the user if you're root, otherwise the user combobox isn't shown. So it's only the group combobox that's not working here.
Git commit da163f5c93972bf91cbc1b2ce0c78d650348c684 by Ahmad Samir. Committed on 02/01/2022 at 09:36. Pushed by ahmadsamir into branch 'master'. KPropertiesDialog: use the KFileItem when checkig if the url is local This way we can ge the most local url and urls under e.g. desktop:/ will be detected as local. This fixes an issue where opening the properties dialog with a file in desktop:/ wouldn't show the group combobox (which allows users to change the group).
