Go into the List Settings and look at those columns. You will see the values for those drop down items.

*Note I'm not sure what kind of list you are using and if there are content types involved with those columns.

Do you mean the Attach Item button at the top? Or do you mean a column/field to put a link to a document?

If the latter, in the list settings, click Add Column and specify a URL column/field.

You have posted this in SharePoint 2010 forum but the screen shots are from the previous version (WSS/MOSS)

The columns to me appear a choice column or a look up column. To change the values follow the steps below

1. Go to your List
2. From the Settings menu select List Settings (Settings-->List Settings)
3. This will take you to the List settings page
4. In the columns section locate your columns (Issue Status and Category)
5. Click on the column name and it will take you to the column settings page
6. If it would be a choice field than there will be a list box with the values (which you can edit) or add new
7. If it is a look up column then you will find out from which list it is getting the data from

  Get information from: Projects List (This is the lookup source list)

  In this column: ColumnName (This is the column from where data is source from)

    8. Add/Edit value in the lookup source list to get reflected in the column

Hope this helps!!!
