Why can't my actors have more than 2 restitution?

Basically, whenever I change my actors resi. to more than 2, when I click off it the resi. changes back to 2.
Any help?

    You should NOT use more than 1 for restitution anyway (otherwise it gets crazy).
    Think of restitution as a percentage...between 0% and 100% (0.00 to 1.00)

    Exceeding 1.00 (100%) will actually cause the bounce impact to increase with each hit.

    I recommend that you make a quick test of a ball and a table top. Drop the ball vertically on the flat surface with different restitutions to get a feel for how it behaves. Change the restitution on the table as well.

    Do this little test and play around with it and you will be a master of restitution in no time.
