- Copy the tag from the column "Unsubscribe tag".

- Open the code mode. (Click on the gear icon to the right of the column, "Author", and choose "Edit code". ) Search for id="UE_unsubscribe".
- All you have to do is to replace the ID with the ID you've just copied. It should look something like this: UE_unsubscribe_list_123.
