Is there any way to remove these additional options in Houdini 19.5 vex editor for attrib wrangle?

Install an older version of Houdini and use that.

Oh. I see. Alternatively, is there a way to stop it from modifying my typed code?

Automatically, it switches to Hexscript mode and messes up the code by adding additional inverted commas in the beginning and end of the code.

The only reason I sought to disable it because it was messing the code.

I'm not sure what you mean by modifying your code, why would it do that? Why does it say 'hscript' for you in the first place? It should say "string value." Is the code supposed to be literal, or is it an expression in hscript that returns code? You seem to have quotes around the code as if it were an expression, in which case you will need backticks around that to evaluate the string as a literal.

if the parameter label is selected and you enter the editor it opens in edit expression mode, so just be careful about that
that's not new in h19.5, however in H19.5 you at least have additional the choice before applying

Yeah. The quotes got added on their own. I never intended to add them It was set to string value earlier and it changed to 'hscript expression' option when I used 'Alt+E' command. It happened on the day when I created this post. After that it has stayed on string value after a laptop reboot.
