As the title says, I only see the "Available filters" option when the populate filters is not exposed. When the populate filter is set to exposed, you cannot make any changes to the filters that should be populated.
This means that if I want to add or remove fields to be used in the populate filter, I need to untick the "exposed" option, update the "Available filters", and then tick the "exposed" option again.
