I’m trying to send Polygon Matic to Coinbase through the Polygon network. I am able to scan the receiving address, but MetaMask will not let me change the amount to send (defaults at zero). It calculates a base gas fee and shows the correct amount of Matic is available to send, but won’t actually let me enter a number. What am I missing here?

hi @user3730 , the amount was entered in the previous step and this step is confirmation.  
So, click back to enter number.

Unfortunately it doesn’t. From the Matic screen I click the “Send” button and get the following screen. Once I scan the receive barcode in my coinbase wallet, I am taken to the screen in my original post. There is no point where I can actually enter the amount of Matic that I want to send.
