DD Design - Modify Value Tool returns "Element Not Valid for tool"

$

Hi,

I am stumped on what is happening here.

History:

I developed a simple DD cell with a constrained dimension for Offset.  I have used this DD cell for over a year with no issue.  When I want to adjust the offset, I would select the Modify Value tool, type in the new value for the offset parameter, and the cell would redraw.  Here is an example where I updated the offset from 7.88 to 6.0 using the  Modify Value tool:

Now, for some reason, all the cells in my model throw the "Element not valid for tool" when I hover over the constrained dimensions.  The cell is still in tact (i.e. it has not been dropped) and I can still adjust the offset via the Modify and Re-solve Constraints tool by clicking and dragging, but the Modify Value tool will no longer work.

I am not aware of any change I explicitly made to my model that would cause this.  Further, if I place a new copy of this dynamic cell in my model, it functions as expected.  Only the legacy instances are affected.

Any help is very much appreciated.
