Cannot change external drive icons in Tahoe 26.4

I cannot change icons for external drives in Tahoe 26.4. This problem did not occur in Tahoe 26.3 and earlier.

iMac 27″, macOS 26.4

Thanks again for the suggestions, den.thed. Unfortunately, I tried all of that and more without success. I did submit a report to Apple as you reminded me in hopes of getting them to fix the problem. Still, I should not have lost all of my custom icons so that I now need to insert new images but cannot do so with 26.4. (That is, the Apple-approved method that had previously worked as expected in 26.3 and earlier no longer works for me with 26.4.) In the recent couple of years this kind of issue has been more frequent than before, Whatever happened to "it just works"?
