Hmmm, must be an IDE thing...
Works in MetaCard...

I suggest (i always do :-) to NOT clone stacks...

Import a premade stack into a customprop, then you can go to this cp 
invisible,
do your modifications and show it :-)

get the siTemplate_stack of this stack
go invisible stack it
## do your thing(s) to "name of imported stack in cp"
show stack "changed name of imported stack in cp"
...

You get the picture :-)
