Changing boats (horses?) in mid-stream

A competitor changes boat (e.g. from a Topper to a Laser) mid-way
through a series. (Yes, we allow it!) Sailwave 1.57 appears to cater
for this, because I can override the series rating with a "rating for
this race" from the "rating" tab in the "edit result" window. Or at
least, I can enter a value in a box marked "override with". The value
in "rating for this race" is greyed out, and does not change,
whatever value I insert in "override with". Nor does what I enter
have any effect on the corrected time. Can anyone help me? What am I
doing wrong? Or is there a bug here?

You need to 'score' the race to change the corrected time. I think that the
'rating for this race' box shows the rating that was first used before you
changed it.
Hope this helps
