Clicking on it leads to: "In the ‘passengers details’ section, you can view the full names of all passengers on your chosen booking and any Finnair Plus membership numbers and contact information given at the time of booking. You can change and update these fields by clicking on ‘update your details’."
However, I don't see any ‘update your details’ link.
Possibly relevant caveats: (1) I don't have a Finnair acct and am not logged in. (2) The reservation was just made and the status at AA.com is Unknown, not Ticketed.
I think your ticket status is perhaps the issue.
I just used it (thanks to your reminder) to change our FF#s on a BA award booking for myself & my husband so we could get 1A & 1K on our flights. Our ticket was booked months ago with BA though.
There is an "Update Your Details" button in the lower right of the Passenger Details section that you click on to get to the screen to change the FF#.
