When I have had weird issues like that, I have noticed many of them go away if I close the dev studio and reopen it. From your description, you seem to have done everything the right way - the dev studio just isn't cooperating with you.
Have you tried closing the studio and reopening it?

Is this a fault? It should be easy to reproduce. I got a OOB form where overlay is already created. I then want to create a new Selection field that is not in any view. Here is how I do it: - Open form where the overlay is created. - Right click on the default view. Select "Create a New Field", "In No View" and "Selection Field". - The new field is created. I fine the new field using the Outline. Click on Attributes, Selections to update the valid Selections. - The Selection dialog pops up with one record Default 1. - I now want to change the Selection Value and the Alias. I click on the 'Default 1' in the Selection Values column. This allow me to update the value. - Click on the Alias is impossible. I can click - but nothing happened. I am unable to change the Alias value. - I can add a new selection. Same time. Using the menu Form, Create a New Field, In No View. Same thing. Let's try to create a new field within the current view. Well the option is there - but the different field types are all disabled. Is the overlay corrupt? I am working in Best Practice Customization Mode.
