Thank you for reporting a bug to Unity. After reviewing the behavior, we've confirmed it aligns with the current design and intended use of the feature. We understand this may differ from your expectations or workflow. We will close this case as 'As Designed.' If you have feedback on how the feature could better meet your needs, please let us know - we value your input and consider it in future improvements.

Steps to reproduce:

Open the attached "2DSpringJoint.zip" project
Open the "SampleScene"
Enter Play mode
From the Hierarchy, select the "Square 2" GameObject
In the Inspector, find the "Spring Joint 2D" Component
Make sure "Auto Configure Distance" property is enabled
Hover over the "Distance" property to get the value change cursor
Click and drag the cursor to change the value
Observe the component

Actual results: "Distance" value does not change, but the "Connected Anchor" Y value changes instead

Expected results: The "Distance" property should be greyed out due to not being editable, and the "Connected Anchor" Y value should not change

Reproducible with versions: 6000.0.65f1, 6000.3.4f1, 6000.4.0b3, 6000.5.0a4

Tested on (OS): Windows 11

Notes:

Sprites are set up as such: Square1 with Slider Joint 2D and Square 2 with Spring Joint 2D
Also reproduces with "Auto Configure Distance" disabled. In such case both properties are changed when changing value
