EXPERT RESPONSE
You have encountered one of the classic issues in copying SAP-provided SAPscript forms into the customer namespace. For some of these forms, the base language is German. An English language version also exists, but it takes a back seat to the German one. Thus, when you copy one of these forms and try to edit it in English, SAP sets restrictions on what you can do.
Here is how to get past this, assuming that you want to edit the form in English instead of German:
Before you go into change mode in step 5, change the form's language to 'DE' (German) on the initial SE71 screen. Then go into the form in change mode and click on 'Utilities-> Change original language'. Specify 'EN' as the new original language. Then exit the form and go back into it in English. You should be able to edit it freely now.
