You don’t overtly go into a lot of detail as to how you’re explicitly going about things from the start, but I assume you’ve childed the Trike as you state you cannot delete a component(Childing does this - it locks the original things in only allowing modification of values and additional components).
The priority is why the values are not being reflected correctly. You will find that on the components tab, for the new status component. Just search for priority, it’ll be the only one there most likely. Values higher than 1 will make that the new default.
