Description

Sometimes BN marks a functions as library function but it is not always do it correctly. I encountered false positives. I cannot find out a way in UI to change that information. Can we have this functionality in function properties dialog?

Research direction

Start by locating the function properties dialog and the existing library-function classification behavior. Trace how the dialog reads and displays static/library status, then determine the expected set and unset behavior for correcting false positives. Done means the status can be changed from the UI and the revised state is reflected consistently.
