[GRASS-user] Shapefile and Blank "Native SRS" field?

I uploaded a shapefile as a store, and created a layer, but for some reason, the “Native SRS” field comes up blank, and is uneditable.

I can edit and save the “Declared SRS” field, and force the declared SRS and view the layer in Open Layers, where it will display; however its projected approximately 300 miles away from the correct location.

The native projection is known to me, how can I edit and save the Native SRS field in Geoserver? The shapefile seems to work fine in Grass GIS.

Thanks!
