Solved
It can be changed, the box appears behind the current item in the GUI so you cannot see it. Click on the pencil next to the Ip to open the box that shows DHCP in the first row and the VLAN in the second row (if the current IP is DHCP). This will change the twistie from pointing down to pointing up. Then press the down arrow on the keyboard twice, followed by the return key. You will now see that the top box says static and the fields you need all appear.

Thanks @cmr - not exactly the same issue per se. I am aware of how to change from one to the other but the issue is that "when doing so" there is partial information from the previous setting that remains such as IP address in the VLAN field when going back to DHCP. It appears to definitely be a GUI BUG IMO.
Why does the IP address info linger? In order to SAVE this - one has to manually DELETE this info (data) before being able to SAVE it. Causes additional steps which is problematic when doing this to a network with say 15 or more meraki devices (APs).
Just give me back the OLD view and I'll zip it and be happy 😃
